Karl Landsteiner
Karl Landsteiner, ForMemRS (June 14, 1868 – June 26, 1943), was an Austrian and American scientist and physician. He is noted for having initially recognized the fundamental blood bunches in 1900, having built up the advanced arrangement of characterization of blood gatherings from his ID of the nearness of agglutinins in the blood, and having distinguished, with Alexander S. Wiener, the Rhesus variable, in 1937, subsequently empowering doctors to transfuse blood without jeopardizing the patient′s life. With Constantin Levaditi and Erwin Popper, he found the polio infection in 1909. He got the Aronson Prize and the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. He was honored a Lasker Award in 1946 after death and is perceived as the father of transfusion medication.Discovery of the blood groups
In 1900 Karl Landsteiner discovered that the blood of two individuals under contact agglutinates, and in 1901 he found that this impact was because of contact of blood with blood serum. Subsequently, he succeeded in distinguishing the three blood amasses A, B and O, which he named C, of human blood. Landsteiner additionally discovered that blood transfusion between persons with the same blood bunch did not prompt the demolition of platelets, though this happened between persons of various blood groups.Based on his discoveries, the first an effective blood transfusion was performed by Reuben Ottenberg at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York in 1907.
