Identification of kallikrein and FXIa as impurities in therapeutic immunoglobulins: implications for the safety and control of intravenous blood products.

abstract：:We have employed a PCR approach to determine the nucleotide sequences of the coding region in the last two coding exons of the histo-blood group ABO genes from one A(X) and one B(A) individual. Compared with A1 alleles, the (A(X)) allele has a single nucleotide substitution (T-->A at nucleotide 646) resulting in an am...
