Abstract excerpt
In the last 18 years the genes that encode all but one of the 29 blood group systems present on red blood cells (RBCs) have been identified. This body of knowledge has permitted the application of molecular techniques to characterize the common blood group antigens and to elucidate the background for some of the variant phenotypes. Just as the RBC was used as a model for the biochemical characterization of cell...
