To determine the ligands on erythrocytes for invasion by Plasmodium falciparum, we tested invasion into MkMk erythrocytes that lack glycophorins A and B and enzyme-treated erythrocytes by parasites...
The RHD gene is highly detectable in RhD-negative Japanese donors.
Okuda, H, Kawano, M, Iwamoto, S, Tanaka, M, Seno, T, Okubo, Y, ...
Recent molecular studies on the Rh blood group system have shown that the Rh locus of each haploid RhD-positive chromosome is composed of two structural genes: RHD and RHCE, whereas the locus is made...

Cross-reactivity between galactomannans of three representative Hormodendrum strains, H. pedrosoi IFO 6071, H. compactum IFO 6726, and H. dermatitidis IFO 6421, and the mannans of two Candida...
An enzyme basis for blood type A intermediate status.
Yoshida, A, Davé, V, Branch, D R, Yamaguchi, H, Okubo, Y
The blood type A is known to be subclassified as A1, A2, and A1-A2 intermediate (Aint), depending upon red cell agglutinability with anti-A1 and anti-H lectins. Approximately 80% of the blood group...
Yoshida, A, Yamaguchi, H, Okubo, Y
In contradiction to the general Mendelian inheritance of blood group ABO expression, the A and B characteristics are inherited together from one parent in the rare Cis-AB phenotype. Since the...
Yoshida, A, Yamaguchi, H, Okubo, Y
The genetic mechanism of the rare occurrence of Cis-AB expression, that is, AB and/or O offspring from AB X O parents, has not been fully understood. The synthesis of blood group A and B substances...
