Karl Landsteiner was one of the first scientists to study the physical processes of immunity.
Landsteiner identified the agents responsible for immune reactions, examined the interaction of antigens and antibodies, and studied allergic reactions in experimental animals.
Landsteiner graduated from medical school at the age of 23 and immediately began advanced studies in the field of organic chemistry, working in the research laboratory of his mentor, Ernst Ludwig.

Karl Landsteiner was born in Vienna on June 14, 1868.
Karl was brought up by his mother, Fanny Hess, to whom he was so devoted that a death mask of her hung on his wall until he died.
In 1901-1903 Landsteiner pointed out that a similar reaction may occur when the blood of one human individual is transfused, not with the blood of another animal, but with that of another human being, and that this might be the cause of shock, jaundice, and haemoglobinuria that had followed some earlier attempts at blood transfusions.

Karl Landsteiner was born in 1868 in Vienna.
It was in 1900 that K. Landsteiner (who was then the assistent of the Vienna Institute of Pathology) took blood from himself and his five employees, separated serum from erythrocytes using a centrifuge and mixed separate samples of erythrocytes with the serum of different persons and with his own.
In 1940 Landsteiner together with A.Wiener found the human blood factor which they called the rhesus factor (Rh) since in the course of investigations they used the serum of rabbits immunized by erythrocytes of Macacus rhesus species.

That mystery was finally solved by Karl Landsteiner, a Vienna born physician and researcher that - Humans, although one species, vary in their types of blood.
Karl labeled these two protein as A and B and went on to identify the blood groups A, B, AB and O (the label for cells containing neither of these two proteins).
Karl also found out that blood contains antibodies against the protein not found on their red cells, so that when a type A or B person is transfused with blood of a different type, his or her antibodies will destroy the red blood cells with the foreign marker.

 Ockham's Razor
Landsteiner was born in Vienna in 1868, trained in medicine at the University of Vienna and became a research assistant at the pathology institute there.
Landsteiner's approach to this problem was to separate blood samples from several volunteers into the red cells, which he washed in a saline solution, and the fluid in which they circulate in the body, the serum.
Landsteiner realised that each of the two copies could be one of three variants - A, B or O. An individual who inherited A from both mother and father ended up blood type 'A'.

 Poliovirus - Discovery
Before the discovery of the infectious nature of the disease, the paralytic aspect was considered to be its characteristic feature, as documented by the denomination "infantile paralysis." Although its infectious nature was long hypothesized, Ivar Wickman was the first to clearly show the infectious nature of polio after an epidemic in Sweden in 1905.
Landsteiner and his assistant E. Popper injected intraperitoneally suspensions from the spinal cord of a 9-year-old boy into rabbits, guinea pigs, mice and monkeys.
Unfortunately, this discovery led to the neglect of epidemiological studies showing poliovirus was transmitted as a gastrointestinal infection.

In 1909, Landsteiner classified the human blood into Types, known as A, B, AB and O. He observed two distinct chemical molecules present on the surface of the red blood cell.

In fact, the award came three decades after Dr. Landsteiner first reported his findings that, when blood was transfused from one human to another, the foreign corpuscles clumped together and broke up, leading to a potentially fatal situation involving shock, jaundice and/or hemoglobinuria.
Even Dr. Landsteiner thought the most important aspect of the report was his suggestion that blood characteristics were inherited, meaning paternity could be determined—an assumption later proven to be true.
Dr. Landsteiner died from a heart attack in the lab at the Rockefeller Institute in June 1939.

In 1901, an Austrian Scientist, Karl Landsteiner, found that reactions between substances present on the surface of red cells (antigens) and other substances in plasma (antibodies) sometimes caused the red blood cells to clump together, causing adverse reactions in recipients.
After further experiments, he found four blood groups based on the presence or absence of two specific antigens, which are now called A and B. An antigen is a protein or carbohydrate substance (such as a toxin or enzyme) capable of stimulating an immune response.
Landsteiner's discovery paved the way for a system of blood grouping called the ABO system.

In 1927 Landsteiner found that, in addition to antigens A and B, human blood cells contain one or other or both of two heritable antigens, M and N. These are of no importance in transfusions, because human serum does not contain the corresponding antibodies, but they are of value in resolving paternity disputes.
Landsteiner was born and educated in Vienna, and also studied at other universities in Europe.

Death was attributed to the organ damage and hyperkalemia from the rapid release of potassium from the lysed red cells (1).
As a result Landsteiner divided these individuals into three groups called groups A, group B and group C. The group C was later changed to group O (1, 6, 7).
