These substances (antigens) are variants of the same gene, and are responsible for the blood group. After these studies, people were divided into groups of blood:

• On (I) - the first group of blood
• A (II) - the second group of blood
• In (III) - the third group of blood
• AB (IV) - the fourth group of blood

He found an interesting pattern: in some people they are different sets of antigens - substances that trigger an immune response and antibody production. Found antigens scientist designated by the letters A and B. There are only some antigens A, others - only Q. And the third - no A or B. Thus studies Karl Landsteiner divided humanity into three parts, according to the properties of blood : I group (which is also 0) - no A or B antigens; Group II - is there; III - antigen B.

In 1902, the researcher described Dekastello and the fourth group (in red blood cells are detected antigens A and B). Opening of two scientists was named AB0 system. She founded a blood transfusion.
