Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Antigens of the human blood group system Gerbich (Ge) are located on sialoglycoproteins glycophorin C (GPC) and glycophorin D (GPD). CASE REPORT: The Ge+ proposita (RW) produced an alloanti-Ge after receiving 2 units of red cells (RBCs) during surgery. Further studies were carried out to characterize the antibody specificity, RBC GPC and/or GPD (GPC/GPD), and the glycophorin C gene (GYPC) from RW and...
