Announcement

[摘要] At the annual meeting of the American Association of Immunologists, held in Rochester, N. Y., April 14, 1927,[1][1] upon the motion of Dr. Francis G. Blake, the Association recommended the general adoption of the designation of the human blood groups by the well known letters, according to the suggestion of Karl Landsteiner, who discovered the groups in 1900. In the order of frequency of the groups in this country and Europe these designations are 1. O—universal donor2. A—formerly Group II3. B—formerly Group III4. AB—universal recipientand they represent the constitution of the corpuscles with respect to the iso-agglutinogens A and B.This nomenclature is now known as the “international” nomenclature of the blood groups; it is rapidly being adopted in all countries, and has recently been approved by the Committee on Hygiene of the League of Nations.[2][2] [1]: #fn-1 [2]: #fn-2
