  • Title: [Study of equivalents of rhesus antigens in non-human primates].
    Author: Blancher A, Calvas P, Ruffié J.
    Journal: C R Seances Soc Biol Fil; 1992; 186(6):682-95. PubMed ID: 1339597.
    Abstract:
    Human alloantibodies specific of some Rh antigens cross-react with non human primates red blood cells. These crossreactions demonstrated that only African apes express equivalents of Rho (D) and hr' (c). The antigenic resemblance between these two human antigens and their primate homologues is confirmed by the reactivities of human anti-D and anti-c monoclonal antibodies. The use of a human Rh cDNA probe allowed to confirm by Southern blot hybridization that nonhuman primates possess Rh-like genes. The number of Rh-like genes per haploid genome was deduced from the results obtained with exon-specific probes.
