A serologic relationship among the NFLD, BOW, and Wu red cell antigens.
A survey of sera containing antibodies to multiple low-incidence antigens revealed a variety of patterns of reactions with NFLD+, BOW+, and Wu+ red cell samples. Although NFLD, BOW, and Wu are distinct antigenic determinants (International Society of Blood Transfusion numbers 700.37, 700.46, and 700.13, respectively), their ability to absorb and elute "crossreactive" antibodies indicates a serologic and possibly a genetic relationship among the three.
