BACKGROUND: The Duffy (Fy) blood group (also known as Duffy antigen receptor for
chemokines, or DARC) may be involved in regulation of the level of circulating …

Very important progress has been made over the last years in understanding the Duffy blood

Abstract The Duffy blood group Ag (dfy) binds selective CXC and CC chemokines at high
affinity and is expressed on erythrocytes and endothelial cells. However, it does not transmit …

The Duffy (FY) blood group antigens are carried by the DARC glycoprotein, a widely
