BACKGROUND Amerindian admixture is an important parameter to consider in epidemiological studies in American countries, to make a proper selection of cases and controls. AIM To compare Amerindian admixture estimates obtained using ABO*A and ABO*O blood group alleles and ancestral identity markers (AIMs) in the mixed Chilean population. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Amerindian admixture rates were de...

ABO histo-blood group antigens have been postulated to modify pathogen spread through the action of natural antibodies and complement. The antigens are generated by a polymorphic glycosyltransferase encoded by 2 dominant active and a recessive inactive allele. In this study we investigated whether ABO sugars are incorporated into the envelope of HIV-1 virions. HIV vectors derived from cells exp...

ABO-incompatible (ABO-i) living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is performed if an ABO-compatible graft cannot be obtained. However, a perfect desensitization protocol has not been established worldwide, especially for simultaneous ABO-i LDLT and splenectomy. We herein report two cases of ABO-i LDLT. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of ABO-i LDLT in an adult patien...

Females homozygous for the maternal-effect mutation abo (2-44.0) produce a large fraction of eggs which arrest during embryogenesis. Increasing doses of defined heterochromatic regions inherited by offspring of abo mothers from their fathers function zygotically to bring about a partial rescue of the abo-induced embryonic lethality. Another property of the abo mutation is that the severity of t...

Recent investigations have revealed a correlation between human serum alkaline phosphatase types, the ABO blood groups, and the secretion of ABH substance in the saliva (Arfors, Beckman, and Lundin, 1963a, b; Shreffler, 1964; Beckman, 1964; Evans, 1965; Bamford, Harris, Luffman, Robson, and Cleghorn, 1965). Arfors et al. (1963a) reported that phosphatase type 2 (Pp 2) was uncommon in people hav...

OBJECTIVE To report a case with unusual ABO discrepancies caused by coexistence of the loss of anti-B isoagglutinin and rouleau formation. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION A 79-year-old female diagnosed as having multiple myeloma (MM) with monoclonal IgG-λ type showed rouleau formation in peripheral blood smear. The ABO and Rh blood type before the diagnosis of MM was A+, but the follow...
