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 …

To identify the genetic basis of circulating concentrations of monocyte chemoattractant
protein-1 (MCP-1), we conducted genome-wide association analyses for MCP-1 in 3 …

The D uffy a ntigen/r eceptor for c hemokine, DARC, acts as a widely expressed
promiscuous chemokine receptor and as the erythrocyte receptor for Plasmodium vivax. To …

It has been demonstrated that the promiscuous chemokine binding profile of the
Duffyantigen/receptor for chemokines (DARC) is given by its extracellular NH 2-terminal …

The expression of the Duffy Antigen/Receptor for Chemokines (DARC) on red blood cells
(RBC) has been commonly determined using hemagglutination tests. Because the vast …

The epitope Fy6 recognized by two monoclonal antibodies (i3A and BG6), which inhibit
binding of chemokines to the Duffy antigen, was characterized by means of peptides …

An example of anti‐Fy3 has been found in an Fy (a—b—) Negro patient whose serum also
contains separable anti‐Fya. The serological reactions of the anti‐Fy3 component duplicate …

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of
cancer‐related death among men in the United States. African American men have a 60 …
