Cytomegalovirus (CMV) antibody in male homosexuals: a source for CMV immune globulin.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:B subgroups are rare and the genetic analysis reported to date has been limited. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Serological and molecular investigations were performed in blood from a B-subgroup donor. RESULTS:Red cells did not react with anti-B and anti-AB reagents. However, cells absorbed anti-B. R...
