Abstract excerpt
The Duffy blood group antigen has been characterized by its roles on red blood cells: as a receptor for the malarial parasites and as a promiscuous receptor for chemokine superfamily. Recently, the Duffy blood group associated glycoprotein D (gpFy) cDNA has been cloned (Chaudhuri et al: Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 90:10793, 1993). In this report we describe the organization of genomic DNA coding for the gpFy and...
