Abstract excerpt

The Rh antigens are carried by 30-32 kDa integral proteins of the red cell membrane. The Rh locus is composed of two genes: RhD, which encodes the major D antigen and is present only in Rh-positive genomes, and RhCcEe, which encodes both the Cc and Ee polypeptides, most likely by alternative spli...
