Validation of a Polymerase Chain Reaction technique for Kidd blood group genotyping [PDF]
The Kidd blood group antigens, Jkª and Jkᵇ , are two of the main surface markers which are found on the membrane of red blood cells. The determination of whether a donor or a recipient has the Jkª and/or the Jkᵇ antigens is crucially important to ...

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Crystallography of a Lewis-binding norovirus, elucidation of strain-specificity to the polymorphic human histo-blood group antigens. [PDF]
Noroviruses, an important cause of acute gastroenteritis in humans, recognize the histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) as host susceptible factors in a strain-specific manner.

Prevalence of Lewis Blood Group Polymorphisms in Southern Thai Blood Donors [PDF]
Objective: To determine the frequencies of five of the most common (59T>G, 202T>C, 314C>T, 508G>A and 1067T>G) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the FUT3 gene in Thai blood donors and examine their associations with the presence or absence of ...

Role of ABO secretor status in mucosal innate immunity and H. pylori infection.
The fucosylated ABH antigens, which constitute the molecular basis for the ABO blood group system, are also expressed in salivary secretions and gastrointestinal epithelia in individuals of positive secretor status; however, the biological function of ...
