Don't delay in treating yourself, your colleagues, and students to this fact-filled adventure. --Gerald Sandler, MD in IMMUNOHEMATOLOGY ...the end result is a book that should jostle for space on the bookshelf of everyone with even a casual interest in red cells and blood group antigens... every aspect of the red-cell membrane is covered, and its publication is timely considering that the majority of the major blood group antigens have now been defined at the molecular level. --Transfusion Medicine The authors have packed an enormous amount of information into this book. It would be an important addition to, rather than a replacement for, other reference texts on the bookshelves of anyone who has a serious interest in Transfusion Science. --Geoff Poola in BBTS NEWSLETTER, NO 44 Once you start reading this unique compilation of facts and information about blood group antigens, you will not be able to stop until you reach the last page...
