Abstract:
In a routine HLA antibody screening cross-match test using the complement-mediated lymphocytotoxicity (LCT) assay, we discovered an antibody, in a transfused Caucasian woman, recognizing an Oriental restricted antigen that does not appear to be associated with the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system. The distribution of this 'novel' antigen in Oriental populations and its frequency in the Taiwanese Chinese population are reported.
