Heterogeneity of the phenotype Jk(a-b-) found in Japanese.
Fourteen Jk(a-b-) persons were detected by testing 638,460 Osaka blood donors with an automated 2 M urea technique. Two of these 14 Jk(a-b-) samples were quite different from the hitherto reported Jk(a-b-) phenotype, and a family study showed that the mode of the inheritance was dominant. The red cell membranes of these Jk(a-b-) samples were studied by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and unusual protein bands (apparent mw, 67,000 d) were detected.
