Abstract excerpt
Red cell membrane proteins expressing Rh antigens appear to be important for the stabilization of the phospholipid membrane bilayer. Neonatal red cells possess a shorter in vivo life span and different deformability properties as compared to adult red blood cells, differences which could potentially be explained by different cell surface antigen densities of Rh-antigenic determinants. Although conventional...
