| Abstract | BACKGROUND: The ABO blood subgroup A2 expresses lower levels of A antigen on the cell surface and is less immunogenic toward anti-A immunoglobulin present in blood type O or B recipients. Previous studies have shown successful kidney transplantation from A2 donors into O or B recipients with low pre-transplant anti-A titers. Previous studies suggest good results with recipient IgG titers |
