Abstract excerpt
RhD is a highly immunogenic erythrocyte membrane protein, implicated in hemolytic disease of the newborn and other hemolytic disorders. Anti-RhD antibodies are used in the treatment of such disease states. Six mutant forms of recombinant RhD were stably expressed in K562 cells, and these cells were used to investigate epitope specificities of four anti-RhD monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Amino acid substitutions...
