Human Blood Groups

Informationen zum Autor Geoff Daniels BSc, PhD, FRCPath Head of Diagnostics, International Blood Group Reference Laboratory; Senior Research Fellow, Bristol Institute for Transfusion Sciences, NHSBT, Bristol, UK; Secretary General, International Society of Blood Transfusion Klappentext Human Blood Groups is a comprehensive and fully referenced text covering both the scientific and clinical aspects of red cell surface antigens, including: serology, inheritance, biochemistry, molecular genetics, biological functions and clinical significance in transfusion medicine.Since the last edition, seven new blood group systems and over 60 new blood group antigens have been identified. All of the genes representing those systems have now been cloned and sequenced.This essential new information has made the launch of a third edition of Human Blood Groups, now in four colour, particularly timely.This book continues to be an essential reference source for all those who require clinical information on blood groups and antibodies in transfusion medicine and blood banking. Zusammenfassung This new edition of an essential text for all those working within transfusion and blood banking is now even more biologically and clinically relevant, incorporating the latest information on the genes for various blood groups and including greater content on the functional significance of blood groups.

Report

"It is fascinatingly detailed, and makes a wonderful book for browsing, with many interesting facts, often with historical context to each blood group discovery; but its main audience will be those working within the transfusion laboratory, for whom this will be an invaluable reference." (Haem Trainee, 1 August 2013)
 
"Get it. If you are involved in blood banking, this is a must-have." (Doody's, 14 June 2013)
