Summary:

The Blood Group Antigen Facts Book has been an essential resource in the hematology, transfusion and immunogenetics fields since its first publication in the late 1990's. The third edition of The Blood Group Antigen Facts Book has been completely revised, updated and expanded to cover all 33 blood group systems. It blends scientific background and clinical applications and provides busy researchers and clinicians with at-a-glance information on over 330 blood group antigens, including history and information on terminology, expression, chromosomal assignment, carrier molecular
