Abstract excerpt
The Henshaw antigen (synonym: He or MNS6) is carried by an altered form of glycophorin B (GPB), but the molecular basis for its variable expression or quantitative polymorphism remains largely undefined. We report here the identification and analysis of a novel glycophorin He allele, GPHe(GL), which gives rise to the expression of two protein isoforms in the erythrocyte membrane. In addition to the nucleotide...
