The Lutheran glycoprotein: a multifunctional adhesion receptor
30 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
The Lutheran blood group system, which comprises one of the largest families of human red blood cell (RBC) antigens, resides on two immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) proteins: Lutheran and basal cell adhesion molecule (B-CAM).
