This monograph covers the entire field of
blood group serology, with its main emphasis on the chemical and
biochemical basis of blood group specificity. Full consideration is given to molecular biology investigations, in particular to studies on the structure of blood group genes and the molecular biological basis of alleles and rare blood group variants, whereby relevant literature up to the year 2000 is covered. The text is supplemented by numerous illustrations and tables, and detailed reference lists. The five years since the publication of the first edition have brought further
advances in blood group research. Thanks to modern molecular biology, scientists have not only been able to…
