The second edition of The Blood Group Antigen FactsBook provides key information relating to human red blood cell membrane components carrying blood group antigens, the molecular basis of the antigens, their serological characteristics, and the clinical significance of blood group antibodies. The data on this group of molecules has expanded greatly since the previous edition was published five years ago. Topics include: history and information on terminology, expression, chromosomal assignment, carrier molecule description, molecular basis of antigens, effect of enzymes/chemicals, clinical significance, disease association, phenotypes, glycotypes and key references.

Over 250 fully updated entries on blood group antigens, formatted on single pages for easy use
Inclusion of RHAG blood group system and over twenty new antigens
Basic science paired with clinical applications to give context to information
Full-color illustrations, gene maps and charts
Both traditional and ISBT-sanctioned naming conventions included

From the Back Cover:

How do you keep track of basic information on the proteins you work with? Where do you find details of their physicochemical properties, amino acid sequences, gene organization? Are you tired of scanning review articles, primary papers and databases to locate that elusive fact?
The Academic Press FactsBook series will satisfy scientists and clinical researchers suffering from information overload. Each volume provides a catalogue of the essential properties of families of molecules. Gene organization, amino acid sequences, physicochemical properties, and biological activity are presented using a common, easy to follow format. Taken together they compile everything you wanted to know about proteins but were too busy to look for.
The Blood Group Antigen Factsbookcontains entries on all 23 blood group systems and over 250 antigens of human origin, including:
* ABO blood group system
* MNS blood group system
* Rh blood group system
* Duffy blood group system
* Diego blood group system
Entries provide information on:
* terminology
* expression
* chromosome assignment
* carrier molecule description
* molecular basis of antigen
* effect of enzymes/chemicals
* clinical significance
* function
* disease association
* phenotypes
* references
