Background: The Cromer blood group system consists of seven high-incidence and three low-incidence antigens carried on decay-accelerating factor (DAF). This report describes the identification and characterization of a new Cromer high-incidence antigen, named GUTI.
Study Design And Methods: RT-PCR and sequence analysis were performed on cDNA prepared from a Chilean donor whose serum contained the alloantibody (anti-GUTI).
