Characterization of blood group variants in an Omani population by comparison of whole genome sequencing and serology. [PDF]
TransfusionAbstract Background Although blood group variation was first described over a century ago, our understanding of the genetic variation affecting antigenic expression on the red blood cell surface in many populations is lacking. This deficit limits the ability to accurately type patients, especially as serological testing is not available for all ...

Resolving the Interference of Anti-CD38 Antibodies on Blood Compatibility Assays Using CD38 "Baitbodies" Approach. [PDF]
J Immunol ResBlood transfusion safety depends on swift blood compatibility testing. Alloantibodies recognizing these blood group antigens determine blood compatibility, and the transfusion of incompatible blood can lead to life‐threatening hemolytic transfusion reactions.
