there are reports from different countries that some types of glaucoma are associated with blood groups. this cross-sectional study was performed on 400 glaucomatous patients [100 patients in each group of primary open angle glaucoma (poag), chronic angle closure glaucoma (cacg), pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (pexg) and primary congenital glaucoma (pcg)] and 400 blood donors as control group to as...

The clinical significance of ABO and Rhesus blood group systems has been well documented. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of ABO and Rhesus blood groups in blood donors in Lahore, Pakistan, with a view to generate data with multipurpose future practicalities in the field of medicine. Blood groups of 3000 blood donors were determined by commercially available standard ...

The A reagent: The A reagent (Table 1 ) was an unabsorbed, isoimmune antiserum. It was produced in a sheep named A, which received five intrajugular injections, at five-day intervals, of 5 ml of citrated blood from a sheep named B. The antiserum was collected five days after the last injection. Sheep A was of blood-group R in the R 0 system, and a preimmunization sample of her serum contained n...

Blood group antigens of the H, ABO, Lewis, and historical “P” blood groups are defined by small carbohydrate epitopes expressed as posttranslational modifications on glycoproteins, mucins, and glycolipids. Their synthesis is complex and dependent on several distinct glycosyltransferases and interrelated biosynthetic pathways. In many cases, carbohydrate antigens share features of more than one ...

The problem of the relation between blood groups and disease has been the subject of many investigations. An important paper appeared as early as 46 years ago (Buchanan and Higley, 1921). Specific studies about blood groups and leprosy also date back to the twenties (Puente, 1927-28 and others). Since that time the relation between the ABO blood groups and this disease has been tested in differ...
