[Minor erythrocyte antigens: their sensitizing activity and rating in the practice of transfusion science].

: A general situation in transfusiology influencing sensitization probability greatly differs from that in a panmictic population as blood transfusions are strictly controlled by ABO group and Factor D rhesus. However, with increasing hemotransfusion scope, clinical significance shifts to other factors, "minor" antigens of erythrocytes, which are not given due attention in hemotransfusions. Besides ABO factors and antigen D rhesus in practical transfusiology of importance are antigens C, c, E, e, K allosensitization to which is mainly observed in rhesus-positive subjects.
