Serology and genetics of an MNSs-associated antigen Dantu. 1984

M Contreras, and C Green, and J Humphreys, and P Tippett, and G Daniels, and P Teesdale, and S Armitage, and A Lubenko

Dantu, a previously undescribed low-incidence red cell antigen, is inherited as a Mendelian dominant character. The Dantu antigen is associated with very weak s antigen, protease resistant N antigen and either very weak or no U antigen. Two of the propositi had previously been shown to have an unusual hybrid MNSs sialoglycoprotein, and it is probably this which carries these unusual N, s and U antigens as well as the Dantu antigen. A study of the family of one propositus suggests, by conventional genetics, that Dantu is not controlled by the MNSs locus; a possible explanation is given. Several examples of anti-Dantu are known, one was found to cause a positive direct antiglobulin reaction on neonatal red cells.

D008297 Male Males
D008951 MNSs Blood-Group System A system of universal human blood group isoantigens with many associated subgroups. The M and N traits are codominant and the S and s traits are probably very closely linked alleles, including the U antigen. This system is most frequently used in paternity studies.

D002918 Chymotrypsin A serine endopeptidase secreted by the pancreas as its zymogen, CHYMOTRYPSINOGEN and carried in the pancreatic juice to the duodenum where it is activated by TRYPSIN. It selectively cleaves aromatic amino acids on the carboxyl side. Alpha-Chymotrypsin Choay,Alphacutanée,Avazyme
D003298 Coombs Test A test to detect non-agglutinating ANTIBODIES against ERYTHROCYTES by use of anti-antibodies (the Coombs' reagent.) The direct test is applied to freshly drawn blood to detect antibody bound to circulating red cells. The indirect test is applied to serum to detect the presence of antibodies that can bind to red blood cells.
