The main outcome of this paper is a tool for investigating selfadjointness of symmetric operators in a Krein space. Our result covers certain previous theorems in domination theory in a Hilbert and Krein space. It is also applied to obtain a sufficient condition for selfadjointness of a first-order differential operator.
