Abstract excerpt

The D--phenotype of the human erythrocyte is a genetic variant of the Rh blood group system associated with the expression of D but not C, c, E, and e (designated non-D) antigens. In this report, we characterize the structure and expression of Rh polypeptide genes in two D--homozygotes of Italian...
