Abstract
The frequencies of some red cell antigens were determined
in 230 blood donors all belonging to the
Go tribe. Commercial blood grouping sera were
used following the manufacturers instructions. The
frequencies for A.B.O. were 0.1165. 0.1567 and
0.7268. out of the total number of donors 3.9%
were rhesus (D) negative. The commonest rhesus
gave complexes were cDe. cde, CDe and cDE with
Ro Ro, Ro, and RoR1 being the commonest combinations
The MNSs fil/dings were similar to reports
In Ewes.
The Kell/Cellano and the Duffy systems were similar
to findings in some other negro populations
