Book description
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. The book covers techniques used in blood
grouping, troubleshooting and quality assurance and integrates serology
with molecular biology, marrying the basic understanding at the genetic
level with a cellular understanding of the red blood cell membrane. Now
in full colour throughout.
