Objective: To analyze the sequences of Rhesus boxes of RhD gene, and explore the genetic mechanism of RhD negative phenotype in Chinese Han population. Meanwhile the PCR product of Rhesus boxes is analyzed for determining RHD gene homozygosity.
Methods: DNA of 74 RhD negative samples were firstly analyzed with multiplex PCR-sequence specific primer(SSP). The further analysis was given to Rhesus boxes specific sequencing and RHD gene homozygosity determined by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism(RFLP) analysis to Rhesus boxes.
Results: In DNA samples of 74 RhD negative individuals, 46 samples(62%) showed the absence and homozygous negative of RHD gene; 22 samples(30%) all showed the existence of RHD specific exons, of which 19 were RHD gene heterozygous and 3 were homozygous; regardless of PCR-RFLP analysis showing no RHD specific exons, but further analysis of RHD specific PCR revealed one RHD gene, at least RHD gene exon 1 and 10 existing in 5 DNA samples(7%); 1 sample(1%) was lacking RHD exon 6 although the multiplex PCR showed the RHD gene to be positive. Analyzing the hybrid Rhesus box of 27 RhD negative samples revealed the Han Chinese population to have the same DNA sequence of hybrid Rhesus box as Caucasians.
Conclusion: The RHD gene deletion is the main molecular mechanism of causing RhD negative formed in Han Chinese population, who have had the RHD gene deletion taken place within the defined breakpoint region as Caucasians.

Despite the advances in paleogenomics, red cell blood group systems in ancient human populations remain scarcely known. Pioneer attempts showed that Neandertal and Denisova, two archaic hominid populations inhabiting Eurasia, expressed blood groups currently found in sub-Saharans and a rare "rhesus", part of which is found in Oceanians. Herein we fully pictured the blood group genetic diversity of 22 Homo sapiens and 14 Neandertals from Eurasia living between 120,000 and 20,000 years before present (yBP).

Objective: The objective of this study was to rigorously investigate and elucidate the genetic mechanisms underlying the formation of the RH blood group in a specific case and to systematically analyse the RH blood group genes among the family members of the proband.
Methods: Serological methods were used to determine the RH blood group phenotype of the proband. To elucidate the underlying genetic mechanism responsible for the RH phenotype, a comprehensive approach was undertaken, including RHCE genotyping, sequencing of RHD and RHCE genes, and exon sequencing of RHAG.

Objective: To investigate the cause of the production of anti-D and anti-E mixed antibody in an RhD positive patient.
Methods: The ABO/Rh blood group typing and irregular antibody specificity were identified by conventional serological methods, the gene exon 1-10 and heterozygous analysis were performed by sequence-specific primer polymerase chain reaction (PCR-SSP), and the whole exon sequence was analyzed by first-generation sequencing.
Results: The patient's Rh blood group was weak D Type33, with the allele was , the patients was found to be heterozygous, with an Rh typing of Ccee, and the patient had developed anti-D combined with anti-E mixed antibodies.

Ixodid ticks serve as hosts and transmission vectors for several obligate intracellular bacteria, including members of the spotted fever group (SFG) of . Although ticks generate an immune response to bacterial insults, many of the signaling molecules associated with the response and how they may contribute to vector competence for are undefined. In this study, we isolated a full-length transcript from , which encoded a Relish-type NF-κB.
