Description : Lutheran is a complex blood group system consisting of 19 antigens numbered from LU1
to LU21, with 2 numbers (LU10 and LU15) declared obsolete. Four pairs of these antigens
have allelic relationships: LU1/LU2, also known as Lu(a)/(b); LU6 and LU9; LU8 and
LU14; and LU18/LU19, also known as Au(a)/(b) (Karamatic Crew et al., 2007). Although
the Au(a) antigen was found by Salmon et al. (1961), the antithetical antigen, Au(b),
was not found until 1989 (Frandson et al., 1989). Daniels et al. (1991) showed that
the Au(a) and Au(b) antigens belong to the Lutheran system. For a discussion of Lutheran
