The partial D phenotypes correspond to D-positive individuals that may develop anti-D antibodies following immunization by transfusion or pregnancy, since they lack some of the D epitopes that compose the D antigen. When these red cells are tested with a panel of human monoclonal anti-D, different patterns of reactivity are observed and at least nine distinct epitopes termed epD1 to epD9 can be identified....
