No.
It is a weak D red cells having a reduced amount of D antigen.
Rh blood type is determined by the presence or absence of the D antigen. People who are Rh positive have the D antigen and those that are Rh negative lack this. Some people have a variant of the D antigen, called Du. Presence of Du antigen causes lab results to report the blood type as Rh negative, although the patient behaves as an Rh positive would. Du negative means a "true Rh negative" result.
Yes, Hepatitis D virus (HDV) is dependent on the presence of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) for its replication. The Australia antigen, also known as Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), is present in individuals infected with HBV. Since HDV requires HBV to be present, individuals with Hepatitis D will also typically test positive for the Australia antigen.
It is the equivalent to Rh negative blood. D is the antigen present on commonly termed Rh+ red cells, and the D antigen is missing on D-negative blood.
antigen D is the most important
The D antigen is considered the major antigen of the Rh system because it is the most immunogenic component, meaning it is the most likely to provoke an immune response when introduced into an Rh-negative individual. The presence or absence of the D antigen determines a person's Rh blood type, which is crucial for blood transfusions and pregnancy, as Rh incompatibility can lead to serious complications. Additionally, the D antigen's prevalence in the population makes it a key focus in blood typing and transfusion protocols.
There are about 45 different Rh antigens, the most important of which is the D-antigen.
Blood type D is not one of the four main blood type groups. There is a D antigen that is part of the Rh antigen system, but there is not a blood type group called blood type D.
