Immunogenetic studies of rhesus monkeys : X. The O, P, Q, R, and S blood group systems.

Five alloimmune blood typing reagents have been produced which define five new blood group systems in rhesus monkeys. Each of the five independent blood group loci is comprised of a detectable allele and a null allele. Using these new reagents and those previously described, we can potentially identify close to a million phenotypes in rhesus monkeys.
