A family is described in which three members are of the recessive Lu(a-b-)
type. These individuals also lack the high-frequency Lutheran-related antigens Lu4, Lu5,
Lu6, Lu7, Lu8, Lu11, Lu12 and Lu13. There is no evidence that lack of Lutheran antigens
compromises red-cell membrane integrity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
