Abstract
The biochemical nature and sometimes the molecular genetic basis of antigens of many blood group systems have been defined but there are still several systems for which there is less information. A polymorphic X-borne blood group system (Table I) and six autosomal blood group systems (Table II), not described in other chapters, are briefly summarized in this chapter. The classical terminology is used throughout; the International Society of Blood Transfusion’s (ISBT) recommended numerical alternative for antigens is presented in Table II (Lewis et al., 1990).
