Primary anti‐D immunization by weak D type 2 RBCs
1 Apr 2000
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: D is the most immunogenic blood group antigen. In about 0.4 percent of whites, D is expressed on RBCs in a weak form. Recently, it was found that the weak D phenotypes are caused by a large number of distinct RHD alleles generally encoding altered D proteins. No particular molecular weak D type has yet been shown to induce anti-D. The threshold of D antigen density required for anti-D immunization is...
