MER2: a red cell polymorphism defined by monoclonal antibodies. 1987

G L Daniels, and P Tippett, and D K Palmer, and Y E Miller, and D Geyer, and C Jones

Two murine monoclonal antibodies, 1D12 and 2F7, apparently of the same specificity, define a new red cell polymorphism, MER2. 92% of English blood donors are MER2+ giving the gene frequencies MER2+ 0.7159; MER2- 0.2841. Family studies showed that MER2+ is inherited as a Mendelian dominant character and that MER2 is not controlled by any of the main blood group loci. The MER2 antigen is also present on some leukaemia fibroblasts and human cell lines. Using somatic cell hybrids, MER2 appears to be coded for by a gene on chromosome 11 at 11p15.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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
D011110 Polymorphism, Genetic The regular and simultaneous occurrence in a single interbreeding population of two or more discontinuous genotypes. The concept includes differences in genotypes ranging in size from a single nucleotide site (POLYMORPHISM, SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE) to large nucleotide sequences visible at a chromosomal level. Gene Polymorphism,Genetic Polymorphism,Polymorphism (Genetics),Genetic Polymorphisms,Gene Polymorphisms,Polymorphism, Gene,Polymorphisms (Genetics),Polymorphisms, Gene,Polymorphisms, Genetic
D001789 Blood Group Antigens Sets of cell surface antigens located on BLOOD CELLS. They are usually membrane GLYCOPROTEINS or GLYCOLIPIDS that are antigenically distinguished by their carbohydrate moieties.
