Background and Objectives: The knowledge of various blood group antigen and phenotype frequencies in a population is important in selecting compatible blood in alloimmunized patients. Such information in Indian population is very limited.

Group antigens of various animals
In many animals on the erythrocytes are present group antigens similar to the antigens of the system AB0 human. Immunogenetic features of blood does not change throughout the life of the animal. Primates have different combinations of blood group 0, А, В

Clinically significant minor blood group antigens amongst South Indian donor population
Background and objectives: Distribution of blood group antigen varies among different races. It is important to know the distribution of these antigens so as to provide a donor database that aid in providing compatible blood units for patients with ...

A Fully Unsupervised Instance Segmentation Technique for White Blood Cell Images [PDF]
White blood cells, also known as leukocytes are group of heterogeneously nucleated cells which act as salient immune system cells. These are originated in the bone marrow and are found in blood, plasma, and lymph tissues. Leukocytes kill the bacteria, virus and other kind of pathogens which invade human body through phagocytosis that in turn results ...

Impact of a confirmatory RhD test on the correct serologic typing of blood donors
BACKGROUND: The RHD gene is highly polymorphic, which results in a large number of RhD variant phenotypes. Discrepancies in RhD typing are still a problem in blood banks and increase the risk of alloimmunization. In this study, the RhD typing strategy at

Functional immunomics: Microarray analysis of IgG autoantibody repertoires predicts the future response of NOD mice to an inducer of accelerated diabetes [PDF]
One's present repertoire of antibodies encodes the history of one's past immunological experience. Can the present autoantibody repertoire be consulted to predict resistance or susceptibility to the future development of an autoimmune disease? Here we developed an antigen microarray chip and used bioinformatic analysis to study a model of type 1 ...
