Born 14 Jun 1868; died 26 Jun 1943 at age 75.
#Austrian-American #physician, #immunologist and #pathologist who received the 1930 #NobelPrize for Physiology or #Medicine for his discovery of the major #bloodgroups and development of the #ABO system of #bloodtyping that much reduced risk and made blood #transfusion a routine medical practice. Such #blood type analysis proved useful also in #genetic and legal applications.
He first reported that blood had types in 1901. The basis of these types are specific proteins called #antigens that are found on the surface of the #redbloodcells and #anti-bodies found in the #plasma.
He also discovered the #Rhfactor which explained some complications of #pregnancy and #birth when the Rh factor of the #mother and #baby do not match.
