Purpose: Carriers of partial D may produce anti-D following exposure to D positive blood.
Current D typing strategies applied in several European countries protect recipients carrying …

Background The D typing strategies in several E uropean countries protect carriers of D
category VI (DVI) from anti‐D immunization but not carriers of other partial D. Besides DVI …

Background Resolving ambiguous results of D antigen typing is crucial for appropriate and
rational administration of anti‐D immunoprophylaxis and transfusion practice in obstetric …

BACKGROUND: The D antigen of the polymorphic Rh blood group system is of particular
clinical importance regarding transfusion‐and pregnancy‐induced alloimmunization …

BACKGROUND: Accurate D antigen identification is essential for pretransfusion and
prenatal evaluation to prevent anti‐D alloimmunization. Quantitative and qualitative D …

BACKGROUND: The D antigen includes category D, partial D, and weak D types, which are
important because anti‐D alloimmunization can occur in some but not all persons that …

BACKGROUND: Pregnant women with the DEL phenotype appear to be D–by routine
serology. Women with DEL phenotypes that show a partial D‐like epitope loss may develop …

BACKGROUND: Whether anti‐D produced by individuals with a weak D phenotype are allo‐
or autoantibodies remains a matter of debate even though blood transfusion practice is …

Background: To evaluate the incidence, the consequences, and the prevention strategy of
anti-D alloimmunizations of D variant carriers in the obstetric population of Split-Dalmatia …

Background RhD variants have altered D epitopes and/or decreased antigen copies per red
cell. Individuals carrying these variants may test antigen negative, weakly positive, or …
