✦ Synopsis

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 and including 1994 is covered. The text is supplemented by numerous illustrations and tables, and detailed reference lists. This book offers a concise survey for use by blood bankers and researchers in biochemistry, blood group serology, immunohematology, forensic medicine, population genetics, and anthropology.
