The relative contribution of founder effects and natural selection to the observed distribution
of human blood groups has been debated since blood group frequencies were shown to …

Over the past 20 years the molecular bases of almost all the major blood group antigens
have been determined. This research has enabled development of DNA-based methods for …

The surface of the human red blood cell is dominated by a small number of abundant blood
group active proteins. The major proteins are the anion transport protein (band 3) which has …

Mollison's Blood Transfusion in Clinical Medicine is an icon in the field of transfusion and the
first edition was published in 1951. The book arose from the concept of the transfusionist, as …

We have studied the membrane proteins of band 3 anion exchanger (AE1)–deficient mouse
and human red blood cells. It has been shown previously that proteins of the band 3 …

Tetraspanins are thought to facilitate the formation of multiprotein complexes at cell surfaces,
but evidence illuminating the biologic importance of this role is sparse. Tetraspanin CD151 …

With increasing worldwide demand for safe blood, there is much interest in generating red
blood cells in vitro as an alternative clinical product. However, available methods for in vitro …

The erythrocyte is one of the best characterized human cells. However, studies of the
process whereby human reticulocytes mature to erythrocytes have been hampered by the …

We developed a series of interrelated locus-specific databases to store all published and
unpublished genetic variation related to hemoglobinopathies and thalassemia and …

The Rh-blood-group antigens (often described as Rhesus antigens) are associated with
erythrocyte membrane proteins of approx. 30 kDa. We have determined the N-terminal 54 …
