Transfusion. 1981 Jan-Feb;21(1):86-9. doi: 10.1046/j.1537-2995.1981.21181127491.x.

Abstract

A serum Raddon defining a low-frequency red blood cell antigen FR, and its association with the Miltenberger complex of antigens, were reported in 1977. An antibody of the same serological specificity was the cause of a transfusion reaction. The patient's reaction and serological response, as well as the frequency of Raddon and its inheritance, are described.
