Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: cis-AB enzymes are rare glycosyltransferases that synthesize both blood group A and B antigens. We have identified a large cohort of Korean cis-AB blood donors and studied the N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (glycosyltransferase A, GTA) and galactosyltransferase (glycosyltransferase B, GTB) activity of their cis-AB serum enzymes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The cis-AB01 allele was identified by PCR-RFLP...
