Abstract
Landsteiner (1901) published the report on the observation of the agglutination of normal human blood. He found that there were natural antibodies in serum which agglutinated the erythrocytes of other men. Landsteiner, whose remarkable research activity has been summarised in several monographs (Speiser 1961, 1962), initially discovered three blood groups, which were first called A, B and C, but were subsequently named A, B and O. Moreover, he found serum types against three blood groups mentioned above in serum. In 1902, Landsteiner’s collaborators, Decastello and Sturli found fourth serum type which contained no “isoagglutinins”. This was later named AB.
