The ABO blood group system is the most important blood type system (or blood group system) in human blood transfusion. Found on platelets, epithelium, and cells other than erythrocytes, AB antigens (as with other serotypes) can also cause an adverse immune response to organ transplantation. The associated anti-A and anti-B antibodies are usually IgM antibodies, which are produced in the first years of life by sensitization to environmental substances, such as food, bacteria, and viruses. ABO blood types are also present in some other animals, for example rodents and apes, such as chimpanzees, bonobos, and gorillas. The ABO blood group system is widely credited to have been discovered by the Austrian scientist Karl Landsteiner, who identified the O, A, and B blood types in 1900. Landsteiner originally described the O blood type as type “C“, and in parts of Europe it is rendered as “0“ (zero), signifying the lack of A or B antigen. Landsteiner was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1930 for his work. Alfred von Decastello and Adriano Sturli discovered the fourth type, AB, in 1902.[ Ukraine marine uniform imprint, showing the wearer's blood type as “B (III) Rh “ Due to inadequate communication at the time, it was subsequently found that the Czech serologist Jan Janský had independently pioneered the classification of human blood into four groups,[5] but Landsteiner's independent discovery had been accepted by the scientific world while Janský remained then in relative obscurity. However, in 1921 an American medical commission acknowledged Janský's classification. Jan Janský is nowadays credited with the first classification of blood into the four types (A, B, AB, 0). #genetics #aboBloodGroupSystem #antigen #serologist #blood #NikolaysGeneticsLessons #RedGreenColorBlindness #geneticDisorder #mutation #geneticDisease #xchromosome #recessiveGeneticDisorder #redgreenColorBlindness #Hemophilia #ColorBlindness #visionDeficiency #sexlinked #ColorBlindnessDiseaseOrMedicalCondition #HealthIndustry #GeneticsFieldOfStudy #Xlinked #GeneticsExamQuestionsSolutions #ColorVisionDeficiency
