Multiple Examples of the Blood Genotype C^wD‐/C^wD‐ in a Canadian Family

The Antigen C^w produced by the Gene Complex C^WD-

“…It is interesting to note that the serum used by Gunson and Donohue [1] in the original investigation, ARCW 25, is outstanding in not showing the effect ; this suggests that the difference in Cw in these alignments may be qualitative as well as quantitative.…”

An Rh Gene Complex Producing Weak c and E Antigens

“…Or the E/e antigens may be lacking, while the C/c antigens are present, although weaker than normal, as in D(CW)- [9,22] and D(c)- [21] ; the D(C)-complex has not yet been described. There may, furthermore, be a reduced strength of the C/c as well as the E/e antigens, as in d(C) (e) [1], D(C) (e) [19,4], d(c) (e) [15,3], and d(C) (E) [23] …”

The CDe Rhesus Gene Complex; Some Considerations Revealed by a Study of a Danish Family with an Antigen of the Rhesus Gene Complex (C) D (e) Defined by a ‘New’ Antibody

“…The above results suggest a series of seven classes, which with the reported complexes (C)DIV- [6] and CWD- [3] can be arranged in the following order : It is unfortunate that the new antibody in serum 1114 is not avid and is difficult to separate from the anti-Cw by absorption because of its instability; this is unlike its counter-part in Troll serum. The admixture of the 'new' antibody in 1114 serum with anti-Cw, and the additional presence of anti-Cx in Troll serum, leads to speculation as to whether this is due to chance or whether there is some asso ciation between the Rh antibodies found in each serum.…”
