Institute for Immunology and Serology, University of Heidelberg, Federal Republic of Germany.

Cold agglutinins of anti-Pr specificity were detected in two newborn infants suffering from serologically ascertained rubella embryopathy, an IgM kappa anti-Pr(a), titer 64, and an IgM lambda anti-Pr1, titer 16. The cases are rare examples of cold agglutinin production in newborns; a possible relationship between anti-Pr specificity and rubella infection is discussed.
