The s ̅ (MNS4) blood group antigen was first described in 1947 by Walsh and Montgomery and by Race and Sanger. It is a member of the MN blood group system which consists of more than 40 well defined, discrete antigens. Examples of anti-s ̅ are usually produced in response to immunization by transfusion or pregnancy, but may be seen in persons without obvious stimulation. They are usually IgG in nature, reacting preferentially by the indirect antiglobulin test (IAT) at room temperature (18-28 C) or 37 C. Some salinereactive/IgM examples, reacting at temperatures below 37 C, have also been reported. Examples of anti-s ̅ do not usually activate complement. Anti-s ̅ has been reported to cause transfusion reactions and hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN).
