Molecular genetic basis of porcine histo-blood group AO system
15 May 2001
Abstract excerpt
Histo-blood group A and B antigens are oligosaccharide antigens important in transfusion and transplantation medicine. The final steps in the synthesis of these antigens are catalyzed by glycosyltransferases encoded by the functional alleles at the ABO locus. Humans have 3 major alleles (A, B, and O), whereas pigs are known to have only A and O alleles. This paper reports the molecular genetic basis of the...
