Abstract excerpt
Six chimpanzee alloimmune antibodies define 20 phenotypes of the R-C-E-F blood group system, the counterpart of the human Rh system. Of the several specificities of this system, the Rc constitutes the crucial link with human Rh since the reactions of some chimpanzee alloimmune anti-Rc sera with human red cells parallel those obtained with human anti-Rho reagents. Reciprocally, properly absorbed human anti-Rho...
