2. 1. Studies of the ABO and FORS Histo-Blood Group Systems: Focus on Flow Cytometric and Genetic Analysis

   Author : Annika Hult; Avdelningen för hematologi och transfusionsmedicin; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Blood Group; ABO; Weak expression; FORS; Flow cytometry;

   Abstract : ABO is the clinically most important blood group system and its antigens are carbohydrate moieties present on the surface of the red blood cell (RBC) but also on other tissues throughout the body. The ABO gene encodes an enzyme, a glycosyltransferase (GT),that adds a terminal monosaccharide to the precursor structure, H antigen, to define the A or B antigens. READ MORE

4. 2. Norovirus, causative agent of winter vomiting disease, exploits several histo-blood group glycans for adhesion
