abstract：BACKGROUND:JMH is a high-frequency red cell blood group antigen that resides on a 76- to 80-kDa glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked protein also known as CDw108. Antibodies with JMH specificity are often autoimmune and are usually, if not always, clinically benign. Some individuals with JMH-variant antigen produce allo...
