In a previous study on homologues of the human Rh-Hr types in apes, weak agglutination of orangutan red cells by human anti-Rh_o and anti-hr’ sera was observed. Lack of adequate amounts of orangutan red cells needed for absorption experiments did not allow to ascertain whether the weak reactions were due to variants of the Rh_o and hr’ factors on orangutan red cells or to anti-species (species-specific) agglutinins against orangutan red cells in the human typing sera. The present experiments indicate that homologues of the human blood factors Rh_ohr’ as well as rh’, rh” and hr” are lacking in orangutan red cells which are, therefore, comparable to the human Rh null red cells. In the search for homologues of chimpanzee C-E-F blood groups in other ape species, tests on 15 gorillas disclosed the presence in gorillas of polymorphism for C^c and F^c while C^c antithetical to C^cin chimpanzees, as well E^c were both found to be absent from gorilla red cells.

“…and lower primates are unreactive with c and most D blood group antibodies Ruffi6 1983, 1990). It was thus suggested that an ancestral Rh gene might have evolved to encode for the blood factor "c" and later to factor "D," probably by a duplication and mutational events (Wiener et al 1964). Our present results support this hypothesis.…”

“…do not. Human anti-c antibodies agglutinate gibbon, chimpanzee, orangutan, and gorilla red cells whereas human anti-D react only with chimpanzee, orangutan, and gorilla cells (Wiener et al 1964;Shaw 1986;Socha and Ruffi6 1990). Analogs of nonhuman Rh proteins have also been described recently in monkey, cow, cat, and rat as 32-kDa erythrocyte polypeptides (Saboori et al 1989).…”

Molecular characterization of the rh-like locus and gene transcripts from the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta)

et al. 1994

The human Rh blood group locus consists of two structurally related genes (D and CcEe) in Rh-positive haplotypes but a single gene (CcEe) in Rh-negative haplotypes. The genome of rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta), while not expressing any of the human Rh D, C, c, E, or e specificities, carries a Rh-like locus strongly related to the human Rh locus. Southern blot analysis suggested the presence of only one Rh-like gene with an additional truncated fragment corresponding to the 5' region. RNA preparations from M. mulatta bone marrow cells contained Rh-like species of 1.7 kb. Two allelic Rh-like transcripts were amplified by PCR and sequenced. The predicted translation product of the first transcript was a 417-amino-acid protein closely similar to the human Rh counterpart. The predicted product of the second transcript consisted of a 361-amino-acid polypeptide truncated in the NH2 terminal region and differing from the former by a few substitutions. The macaque Rh-like protein sequences differed from those of human D and Cc/Ee polypeptides by 22-25%, whereas the degree of identity between the human proteins was 91.5%. Implications of these results in the analysis of the evolutionary pathway of the Rh locus are discussed.

“…Blood and saliva samples from different species of marmosets were provided as controls by the Department of Micro biology, Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center, Chicago, 111. Details of our methods of collecting blood and saliva as well as the methods of the laboratory tests were des cribed previously [1,6,10,20]. It should be noted that all the tests performed in our Pri mate Blood Grouping Reference Laboratory were carried out by the same methods as used for typing human beings for clinical and forensic purposes, which have to guarantee precise, reproducible results.…”

Fifty-two howler monkeys were tested for their human-type A-B-O blood groups. All were group B, as shown by the presence of B and H in their saliva, and anti-A in serum. The B-like agglutinogen of their red cells is common to all New World monkey species tested, and is of different origin and significance than their true A-B-O blood group. Differences among the B-like agglutinogens of the red cells of howler monkeys, marmosets, rabbits and humans group B were demonstrated, and limited tests have also been performed to study the biochemical basis of the anti-B reactions.
