Rhesus antigens have been documented to cause haemolytic disease of the newborn as well as acute and delayed transfusion reactions. This study was performed to evaluate the frequency of rhesus antigens (C, c, D, E, and e) in the studied population.
This study was a cross-sectional study involving 130 prospective blood donors attending University of Calabar Teaching Hospital (UCTH) donor clinic. Donors were grouped for Rh antisera (anti-E, anti-e, anti-C, anti-c, and anti-D) using the standard serologic technique.
The most prevalent Rh antigen was "c" (98.5%), followed by "D" (97.7%), while the least was "C" (30.7%). The most prevalent phenotype was cDe/cDe (RR).
This work therefore concludes that the most prevalent rhesus antigen and rhesus phenotype was c and cDe/cDe among blood donors in University of Calabar Teaching Hospital.
恒河猴抗原已被证实可导致新生儿溶血病以及急性和迟发性输血反应。本研究旨在评估所研究人群中恒河猴抗原（C、c、D、E和e）的频率。
本研究为横断面研究，涉及130名前往卡拉巴尔大学教学医院（UCTH）献血门诊的潜在献血者。采用标准血清学技术将献血者按Rh抗血清（抗-E、抗-e、抗-C、抗-c和抗-D）分组。
最常见的Rh抗原是“c”（98.5%），其次是“D”（97.7%），而最少见的是“C”（30.7%）。最常见的表型是cDe/cDe（RR）。
因此，本研究得出结论，在卡拉巴尔大学教学医院的献血者中，最常见的恒河猴抗原和恒河猴表型分别是c和cDe/cDe。
