Evidence that CDw108 membrane protein bears the JMH blood group antigen

BACKGROUND: CDw108 is a cluster‐of‐differentiation antigen that resides on a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐linked protein; it has not previously been shown to be expressed on red cells. JMH is a high‐ frequency red cell blood group antigen that resides on a GPI‐linked protein of molecular weight similar to that bearing CDw108. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether CDw108 is expressed on red cells and whether it resides on the same membrane protein as does JMH.
