Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Lewis phenotyping by hemagglutination is an unreliable routine method for Lewis antigen designation. Now genomic typing of the Lewis gene is available. Additionally, flow cytometry has been used for typing. We wanted to compare the results of Lewis typing in healthy individuals using the three methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ninety-three randomly selected plasma donors were genotyped for inactivating...
