Abstract:
BOW is a 'new' low-frequency red-cell antigen, detected in 2 unrelated English blood donors, that is sensitive to alpha-chymotrypsin and pronase. Anti-BOW is present in many polyspecific reagents used to define low-frequency antigens. Red-cell groups of the proposita, R.B., and her family show that the BOW blood group segregates independently from the ABO, Rh, MNSs, P1 and Kell blood group systems.
