Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The human ABO blood group system is important in transfusion and organ transplantation. Although the molecular basis of the ABO gene has been established, recent studies have begun to characterize the mechanism of the ABO gene expression. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Transient transfection assays were carried out in human erythroleukaemia HEL cells and human gastric cancer KATOIII cells. Electrophoretic...
