Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Rb(a), Tr(a), and Wd(a) are three low-incidence blood group antigens that have not been assigned to a particular structure of the red cell membrane. Recent genetic and serologic data suggested erythroid band 3 as a possible carrier of these three antigens. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Ten band 3 gene exons that encode the membrane domain of band 3 were screened for single strand conformation polymorphism...
