Karl Landsteiner
Landsteiner’s Law states that: (2)
- If an agglutinogen (antigen) is present on the red blood cell membrane, the corresponding agglutinin (antibody) must be absent in the plasma.
- If an agglutinogen is absent on the red blood cell membrane, then corresponding agglutinin must be present in the plasma.
o Ex. Blood type B – anti-A is present
o Blood type A – anti-B is present
o Blood type O – anti-A and anti-B
