Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: DEL, a variant of RhD, is difficult to detect in routine blood bank testing owing to its extremely low levels of D antigen expression. However, DEL is capable of alloimmunizing a patient when transfused into RhDnegative individuals. METHODS: In this study, we developed real-time PCR and melting curve analysis for the rapid detection of the DEL phenotype. RESULTS: Of the 325 serologically RhD-negative...
