ABO histo-blood group antigens have been postulated to modify pathogen spread through the action of natural antibodies and complement. The antigens are generated by a polymorphic glycosyltransferase encoded by 2 dominant active and a recessive inactive allele. In this study we investigated whether ABO sugars are incorporated into the envelope of HIV-1 virions. HIV vectors derived from cells exp...

INTRODUCTION Hyperbilirubinemia in a neonate is one of the most common problems that may occur in 60-70 % of term and 80% of preterm babies. It is known to be associated with significant morbidity like neonatal bilirubin encephalopathy and even death. Clinically, and almost exclusively ABO incompatibility occur in 'A' and 'B' blood group babies of O '+ve' mothers. These babies are reported to b...

The aim of this study was to investigate relationship between the ABO blood groups,Rh factor with prevalence of dental caries.data on blood group and dental caries prevalence were collected from 457 soldiers of 05 military base in Kerman.the mean (SD) age of soldiers was 19(1) years.the overall mean and SD of decayed,missing and filled teeth (DMF index) was 4.3(3.2) the mean value for DMF index...

Among the conditions capable of causing hemolytic disease of newborn, blood group incompatibility is the most common cause of which most severe forms are encountered in Rh incompatibility. However with availability of effective antenatal care in detecting Rh negative mothers and successful administration of Rh immunoglobulin ABO incompatibility has emerged the most common cause of haemolytic di...

statement of the problem recent studies have shown a relation between some abo blood types and increased susceptibility to fungal infections. purpose the aim of this study was to determine the frequency of blood groups in patients with denture stomatitis. materials and methods in this descriptive cross-sectional study, diagnosis of denture stomatitis in 100 patients with complete denture, was m...

Since the work of Boorman, Dodd and Trinick (1949), incompatibility in the ABO system has been recognized with increasing frequency as a cause of haemolytic disease. Robinson, Phillips and Prystowsky (1951), Shumway, Miller and Young (1955), Davidsohn (1956) and others have written on this condition. And yet haemolytic disease due to ABO incompatibility is much less widely known than that due t...
