Abstract

Anti-AnWj (Anton) has been associated with clinically significant hemolytic transfusion reactions. More than 99 percent of studied populations have RBCs that express the antigen. Reported here is a patient with anti-AnWj who was transfused with antigen-positive RBCs without adverse reaction. Immunohematology2007; 23:55–58.
