Abstract excerpt
RNA derived from enriched reticulocytes of Rh-phenotyped donors was isolated, reversely transcribed into cDNA and amplified with Rh-specific primers by polymerase chain reaction. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the entire coding region of the Rh cDNAs was carried out. Four types of cDNAs were identified, tentatively designated as RhSCI, RhSCII, RhSCIII and RhSCIV. Comparison of RhSCII with RhSCI (identical to the...
