A breakthrough discovery of a new blood protein will finally help doctors identify patients whose immune systems react violently against nearly all blood transfusions.
For over half a century, a set of rare but devastating complications from simple blood transfusions have been linked to the elusive absence of a key immune-system triggering 'antigen' molecule, known as the AnWj blood group antigen.
But now a team of researchers in the UK have identified which compound found in 99.9 percent of human blood carries this AnWj antigen. They call it the 'Mal' protein.
