“…The ABO systemwas first described by Landsteiner in 1900, and remainsthe most important in the management of tissue and bloodtransfusion. Indeed, the Rh system has the most importantantigen D structure and is the most widely used prior totransfusion [1,2]. …”

“…For example, 17% ofBrits are Rh negative, versus 0.5% of Japanese;3 however,the frequency of Rh negative in Turkey is nearly 15%,which is similar to that in Asia and Europe [1,2]. In thepresent study the Rh positivity rate was 88.2%, whereasother studies conducted in Turkey reported that the Rhpositivity rate was 90.8% in Gaziantep, 89% in Malatya,89.1% in Diyarbakır, and 89.9% in Denizli [8-10].…”

“…According to the Roman and Greek sources, it was used for the treatment of epilepsy for the first time in 160-200 A.D. Inb al-Nafis defined the microcirculation in 1260, the blood circulation was discovered and the earliest known blood transfusion trials were begun by the English Doctor William Harvey in 1628, and the first transfusion between people was carried out by James Bundell in 1818 3,[5][6][7] . As of 1900, firstly the blood groups (AB0) then the Rh factor were discovered by the Austrian doctor Karl Landsteiner [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] .…”

SUMMARYObjective: Blood group is a classification of human blood based on the antigenic types on the surface of red blood cells (erythrocytes). ABO and Rh blood group systems are widely used in our country and in the world. We aim to determine distribution of the ABO and Rh blood groups in our region using the results of blood group tests studied by the blood/transfusion center of Cumhuriyet University Hospital in our study. Method: The blood groups of 99.207 subjects were examined based on data obtained blood/transfusion center admitted to the in our hospital between January 2009 and December 2013 in a five-year period as retrospectively. The blood groups was determined using tube agglutination method, microcolon method and microplate automatic blood group method in EDTA-containing blood samples and the weak D was studied in subjects with Rh factor negative. Subjects are evaluated only once for blood group during the study period. Repeated examples belong to the same individuals were excluded from the study. Results: The rates of the blood groups were determined as 43.8% A, 31.8% O, 16.4% B and 8.0% AB according to the results of our region in the study period. In addition, 87% of subjects was Rh positive and 13% was Rh negative. Most common blood group was A Rh positive (37.9%) while the least common type was AB Rh negative (1%) in our region. Conclusion: Blood is vital for the human body. Blood groups may vary between regions. Therefore, regional data must be determined and to be updated with specific time intervals. Distribution of blood groups in our blood/transfusion center is compatible with distribution of blood groups in Turkey. In addition, statistics of blood group distribution should be reviewed and critical level of blood group stock should be determined by the authorites of blood/transfusion center. Keywords: AB0 blood group system, Rh factor, Sivas.

“…Erythrocyte CR1 binds particles opsonized with C3b and/or C4b and transports them to the liver and spleen for destruction and to initiate an adaptive immune response. Population groups and rare individuals with low (Ͻ100) CR1 copy number expression on erythrocytes have been identified, but no individual with a complete deficiency has been reported (28,29). CR1 also regulates the complement cascade by multiple mechanisms.…”

Background: Plasmodium falciparum merozoites invade erythrocytes via interaction of a pathogen protein PfRh4 with a host membrane receptor. Results: The PfRh4-binding site on the human erythrocyte host receptor was mapped by mutagenesis and structural methodology. Conclusion: PfRh4 binds at the receptor terminus in a region overlapping a regulatory functional site. Significance: Understanding the molecular basis of erythrocyte invasion will aid in design of therapeutics.
