After 50 years since its first detection, researchers have discovered the genetic background of the AnWj blood group antigen. Although rare, AnWj-negative phenotypes can have transfusion reactions ...

Researchers looking into a 50-year-old mystery surrounding a rare missing antigen have discovered a new blood group system called MAL. Your blood type is determined by the presence or absence of ...

Using enzymes produced by a bacteria that almost everyone has in their gut, researchers have removed the antigens from red blood cells that determine blood type, putting us within reach of ...

The ABO blood group antigens found on the surface of red blood cells are also found on the mucosal layer that lines the surface of the gut. Researchers have harnessed a specialized human gut ...

High demand for donor blood Human red blood cells carry specific complex sugars structures (antigens) that define the four ABO blood groups A, B, AB and O.

Researchers have identified a direct correlation between blood group A and increased risk for COVID-19 infection, according to study results published in Blood.
