Two new glucosamines, Microphyllose A and B were isolated from the chloroform fraction of Neocarya macrophylla fruit using flash column chromatography. The structures of these compounds were elucidated based on chemical tests and the analysis of their spectral data (IR, 1D- & 2D-NMR). The compounds have demonstrated significant (p < 0.

A survey of sera containing antibodies to multiple low-incidence antigens revealed a variety of patterns of reactions with NFLD+, BOW+, and Wu+ red cell samples. Although NFLD, BOW, and Wu are distinct antigenic determinants (International Society of Blood Transfusion numbers 700.37, 700.

Article Synopsis
  • The study found that the reactions of two cell types, Wu+ and Hov+, were consistent with the presence of low-incidence antigens in 153 different serum samples.
  • This consistency suggests that the two antigens present on these cells are actually the same.
  • Further tests, including absorption and elution studies, support the conclusion that the antigens are identical.

Studies of 91 individuals in three families allowed a genetic-linkage analysis of the gene governing the production of the low-incidence red cell antigen Wra and provided evidence that Wra is not a member of the Scianna, Landsteiner-Wiener, Chido/Rodgers, or XK blood group systems, and that the "WR" locus is excluded from autosomal sites or regions 1p34-p22.1, 1p21-q23, 1q32, 2p25, 3q21, 4q28-q32, 6p24-q12, 9q34.1-q34.
