Molecular Screening for Vel- Blood Donors in Southwestern Germany.
BACKGROUND The SMIM1 protein carries the Vel blood group antigen, and homozygosity for a 17 bp deletion in the coding region of the SMIM1 gene represents the molecular basis of the Vel- blood group phenotype. We developed PCR-based methods for typing the SMIM1 17 bp (64-80del) gene deletion and performed a molecular screening for the Vel- blood type in German blood donors. METHODS For SMIM1 g...

متن کاملNoninvasive methods for haemoglobin screening in prospective blood donors.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The haemoglobin level of prospective blood donors is usually performed on blood obtained by from the finger pulp by fingerstick with a lancet and filling a capillary tube with a sample. New noninvasive methods are now available for rapid, noninvasive predonation haemoglobin screening. MATERIALS AND METHODS Prospective blood donors at our blood centre were tested, in ...
