## Abstract We evaluated the usefulness of blood group genotyping as a supplement to hemagglutination to determine the red blood cell (RBC) antigen profile of polytransfused patients with hematological diseases and renal failure. Seventyβnine patients were selected. They all received more than thre
A recent report has described the molecular cloning and characterization of a novel, single-stranded DNA virus, named TT virus (TTV), which was present in the sera of Japanese patients with posttransfusion hepatitis of unknown etiology [Okamoto et al. (1998) Hepatology Research 10:1-16]. Using a nes
## Abstract Early estimates of the prevalence of TTV viremia in healthy adults of developed countries were in the order of 1β10 %, while similar estimates in Third World countries were considerably higher. Using three different PCRs, TTVβrelated DNA was detected in serum from 180 out of the 201 Nor
## Abstract TT virus (TTV) loads associated with the peripheral blood cells of seven patients known to carry the virus in plasma were investigated by realβtime PCR. Whereas red cells/platelets were uniformly negative, six and four patients yielded positive peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)
