The Duffy antigen/receptor for chemokines (DARC), first identified on erythrocytes, functions
not only as a promiscuous chemokine receptor but also as a receptor for the malarial …

All of the antigenic determinants of the Duffy blood group system are in a glycoprotein (gp-
Fy), which is encoded by a single-copy gene (FY) located on chromosome 1. gp-Fy is also …

The human Duffy blood group (FY) antigens are transmembrane glycoproteins that function
as receptors for chemokines and for the malarial parasite Plasmodium vivax (reviewed in …

The aim of the study was to compare the ability of the human Duffy antigen to bind
homeostatic and inflammatory chemokines. Homeostatic chemokines did not bind to the …

The Duffy antigen/receptor for chemokines (DARC), a seven‐transmembrane glycoprotein
carrying the Duffy (Fy) blood group, acts as a widely expressed promiscuous chemokine …

Background: The Duffy blood group system, besides its relevance in transfusion medicine, is
of major interest for population genetics. In fact, the Duffy molecule is the only red cell …

Duffy-related Fy3, Fy5, and Fs antigens on red cells of various species of primates were
characterized and compared to the findings of others. While most species appear to be …

The Duffy blood group antigen has been postulated to be a receptor on red blood cells
(RBCs) for the malarial parasite Plasmodium vivax and a promiscuous receptor for the …

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 …

Plasmodium vivax is the most widely distributed malaria parasite amongst the four species
that infect humans. In contrast to Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax is not directly associated …
