Abstract
We produced alloimmune sera against erythrocytes of the marsupial, Mon odelphis domestica. By absorption fractionation, six operationally mon ospecific blood typing reagents (hemolysins) were prepared. Using segr egation analyses, we found that each reagent detects a blood group ant igen controlled by an autosomal dominant gene. With the description of these genetic markers, the utility of M. domestica as an animal model is enhanced.
