RHD genotyping were performed with gene sequencing for DEL phenotypes,anti-D alloimmunization was investigated in RhD-negative recipients transfused with DEL red blood cells. Results All the DEL donors were confirmed to carry RHD RHD1227A allele. The titer and strength of anti-D antibodies of...
RHD causes important economic losses in the rabbit meat and fur industry and has a significant negative ecological impact among wild rabbit populations and indirectly on its dependant predators [2,11,15,16].
