Very important progress has been made over the last years in understanding the Duffy blood
group system and its complexity. The Duffy blood group antigen serves not only as blood …

ACKR1, located on chromosome 1q23. 2, is the gene that encodes a glycoprotein
expressing the Duffy blood group antigens. This gene is transcribed in two mRNA variants …

Join the generations of students who have embarked on successful careers with a firm
foundation in the theory and practice of blood banking and transfusion practices. Denise …

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 …

Background Duffy blood group polymorphisms are important in areas where Plasmodium
vivax is present because this surface antigen is thought to act as a key receptor for this …

Background The interaction between the Plasmodium vivax Duffy-binding protein and the
corresponding Duffy Antigen Receptor for Chemokines (DARC) is primarily responsible for …

The absence of the Duffy protein at the surface of erythrocytes was considered for decades
to confer full protection against Plasmodium vivax as this blood group is the receptor for the …

Background Duffy blood group polymorphisms are important in areas where Plasmodium
vivax predominates, because this molecule acts as a receptor for this protozoan. In the …

BACKGROUND: Transfusion recipients who become alloimmunized to red cell or platelet
(PLT) antigens require antigen‐negative blood to limit adverse transfusion reactions. Blood …

BACKGROUND Genotyping has expanded the number red blood cell (RBC) and platelet
(PLT) antigens that can readily be typed, but often represents an additional testing cost. The …
