PEL, a 'new' high-frequency red cell surface antigen.
A 'new', inherited, high-frequency blood group antigen has been named PEL and is numbered 901014. Two PEL-propositi with anti-PEL have been found, both French-Canadians. Two other French-Canadian propositi with very weak expression of PEL on their red cells have an antibody, provisionally named anti-MTP, which does not react with PEL-cells.
