Results are represented by “+” for a normal positive reaction, “w” for a weak positive reaction, and “0” for a negative reaction. “0/w” stands for reactions that may vary depending of the batch used. RH49 (STEM) low-frequency antigen expressed on some RH:−18 RBCs was not tested (serum was not available in the laboratory).24 The molecular background indicates the homozygous or heterozygous status of the RHD gene only when it could be determined by family study or by the presence of 2RHD genes at sequencing analysis. For the RHCEalleles, the major mutation is indicated in parentheses, except for group 1, in which mutations are multiple. cesstands for other alleles with at least mutation at 733. Patients 7 and 8 (DAR-ceAR/DAR-ceAR) do not appear in this Table, as recent transfusion made Rh typing not meaningful.

F3-150

RH46 antigen expression has been tested with polyclonal and monoclonal reagents.
