Description
Summary:Results are presented on 147 individuals from northern Nigeria who were tested for the red cell antigens A, A₁, B, H, M, N, S, s, He, P₁, C, D, Du, E, c, e, Ce, v, Luª, Jkª (some for Jkb), Luª, K, Jsª (some for Jsb), Kpª, Rd, Fyª and Fyb, and for variants of the serum proteins haptoglobin and transferrin and of the red cell enzymes acid phosphatase, phosphoglucomutase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, adenylate kinase, adenosine deaminase, phosphohexose isomerase and lactate dehydrogenase. The results found are of interest as they are among the very few published for this area of Nigeria, but they show little that is unexpected for people living in this region.
