This antigen lives on a myelin and lymphocyte protein, leading the researchers to call the newly described system the MAL blood group. When someone has a mutated version of both copies of their ...

A SERUM that identifies a new blood-group antigen was obtained from the parturient mother of a baby with erythroblastosis fœtalis. Mrs. Kidd had had five previous pregnancies but no blood ...

The MAL blood group is caused by mutations in both copies of the MAL gene, leading to the absence of the AnWj antigen in rare cases. 'Wind brings ghost fleet': Thousands of eerie sea creatures ...

Blood consists of various molecules, including proteins or blood group antigens. Using these, various systems can be ...

Cancer diagnoses traditionally require invasive or labor-intensive procedures such as tissue biopsies. Now, research ...

They need to hunt for clues. One way they can do that is with a carcinoembryonic antigen test. It measures a protein called CEA in the blood. People with some types of cancers have higher than ...

In this event, the plasma, which is usually group O transfused ... would be expected if only the antigen-positive transfused cells were cleared from peripheral blood. This may be because of ...

Negative blood types are particularly valuable because they are not common. With less than 2% (one in 50 donors) of the ...

This molecule, now identified as the AnWj antigen, eventually led to the classification of the MAL blood group system after decades of dedicated research. “It represents a huge achievement ...
