Benign neutropenia, observed in different ethnic groups, is the most common form of
neutropenia worldwide. A specific single nucleotide polymorphism, rs2814778, located at …

The Duffy Antigen Receptor for Chemokines (DARC) belongs to a family of erythrocyte
chemokine receptors that bind CXC and CC chemokines such as interleukin 8 (IL-8) …

The Duffy blood group antigen is the portal of entry of the Plasmodiumvivax malaria parasite
into human red blood cells and the receptor for a number of CXC and CC chemokines. We …

BACKGROUND: The DARC (Duffy blood group, chemokine receptor) gene encodes for a
transmembrane glycoprotein that functions as a chemokine transporter, is a receptor for …

Leukocyte functions are linked to their migratory responses, which, in turn, are largely
determined by the expression profile of classical chemokine receptors. Upon binding their …

Anti-Fy3, found in the serum of an Fy (ab-) Cree Indian woman believed to have been
transfused 5 years previously, caused moderate hemolytic disease of the newborn in her …

cDNA clones encoding the major subunit of the Duffy blood group were isolated from a
human bone marrow cDNA library using a PCR-amplified DNA fragment encoding an …

The Duffy gene has been shown not to be split by introns, even in its 5′ untranslated
region, and to be expressed not only in erythroid but in postcapillary venule endothelium of …

Abstract The Duffy Ag expressed on RBCs, capillaries, and postcapillary venular endothelial
cells binds selective CXC and CC chemokines with high affinity. Cells transfected with the …

The distribution of the Fy gene was studied in 1,207 Israeli Jews and 509 Arabs. The Fy (ab-
) phenotype (FyFy) was observed in Moslem, Christian and Druze Arabs, and in Jewish …
