A multilaboratory investigation during several years has identified a low incidence antigen JAL on the red cells of 7 propositi. JAL appears to be associated with two unusual Rh complexes, one of which produces a depressed C antigen and the other a depressed c antigen. Family studies strongly suggest that the JAL antigen is encoded by the RH locus. Anti-JAL has been implicated in haemolytic disease of the newborn and is thus considered to be a clinically significant antibody.

D007518 Isoantibodies Antibodies from an individual that react with ISOANTIGENS of another individual of the same species. Alloantibodies
D007519 Isoantigens Antigens that exist in alternative (allelic) forms in a single species. When an isoantigen is encountered by species members who lack it, an immune response is induced. Typical isoantigens are the BLOOD GROUP ANTIGENS. Alloantigens,Alloantigen,Isoantigen
