Human Blood Groups is a comprehensive and fully referenced textcovering scientific and clinical aspects of red cell surfaceantigens, including:
* * serology
* * inheritance
* * biochemistry
* * molecular genetics
* * biological functions
* * clinical significance in transfusion medicine
Over a century has passed since Landsteiner discovered the humanblood groups, making the practice of blood transfusion possible.Yet, in the six years since the first edition of Human Blood Groupswas published, new blood groups have been discovered, several bloodgroup genes have been cloned, and the molecular backgrounds ofnumerous blood group variants have been worked out. All this newinformation has made the production of a second edition of HumanBlood Groups timely.
This book is an essential reference source for all those workingin the field of blood transfusion and blood banking.
