Abstract excerpt
Blood group antigens reside on cell surface molecules of wide structural and functional diversity. Although all are serologically detectable on red blood cells, most are also expressed in non erythroid tissues, but with a few exceptions their biological role on erythrocytes and tissues often remains elusive. Deficiencies of these molecules seen either in rare blood group "null" phenotypes and/or associated with...
