Abstract excerpt
CR1 expression on erythrocytes (E) is regulated by an element that is tightly linked in Caucasians to the site of an RFLP of the CR1 gene. Genomic HindIII fragments of 7.4 and 6.9 kb identify alleles that are expressed in high (H allele) or low (L allele) amounts, respectively. When age-fractionated E of donors heterozygous for both the H and L alleles and for CR1 allotypes of differing molecular weights were...
