Rh factor - Rh factor

…It is one of the most prosperous monkeys, with a wide distribution and large population. The Rh factor of human blood type, named after the rhesus monkey, is distinguished between Rh + and Rh - depending on whether or not it has an antigen in common with the blood of rhesus monkeys. Because it is easy to obtain and breed, it is widely used in various experiments in the fields of medicine, physiology, psychology, etc. …

From [Blood Type]

…The MN and P blood types were discovered using the serum obtained by injecting human red blood cells into rabbits, but later (around 1937, published in 1940), Landsteiner, in collaboration with AS Wiener (1907-76), discovered the Rh factor using the same method. That is, when rabbits were immunized with red blood cells from rhesus monkeys, antibodies were produced that agglutinated the red blood cells of not only rhesus monkeys but also about 85% of Caucasians, and this reaction was independent of the ABO, MN, and P blood types. …

…分布域も広く,個体数も多く,もっとも繁栄しているサルの1種である。人間の血液型のRh因子とは,アカゲザルの英名に由来し,アカゲザルの血液にある抗原と共通のものをもっているか否かによって,RhとRhが区別される。入手しやすく,飼育も容易であることから,医学,生理学,心理学などの分野で各種の実験に広く用いられている。…

【血液型】より

…MNとP血液型はヒトの赤血球をウサギに注射して得られた血清を使って発見されたが,その後(1937ころ。発表は1940)ラントシュタイナーはウィーナーA.S.Wiener(1907‐76)と共同で,これと同じ手法でRh因子を発見した。すなわち,アカゲザルrhesus monkeyの赤血球でウサギを免疫したところ,アカゲザルだけでなく白人の約85%の血球を凝集させる抗体が産生され,その反応はABO,MNおよびP血液型とは無関係であった。…
