Abstract excerpt
In 1990, 90 years after the discovery of ABO blood groups by Karl Landsteiner, my research team at the Molecular Biology Laboratory of the now-defunct Biomembrane Institute elucidated the molecular genetic basis of the ABO polymorphism. Henrik Clausen, Head of the Immunology Laboratory, initiated the project by isolating human group A transferase (AT), whose partial amino acid sequence was key to its success....
