Updates blood transfusion scientists on the immunobiology of transfusion medicine, covering: immunochemistry of antigens on erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets; associations of blood groups with disease; red cell antibodies; immune destruction of cells; and the effect of transfusion on the immune response. Also intended to focus attention on the fact that the immunobiological models provided by the immune reactions of red cells, white cells, and platelets are understudied.

Describes the immunological aspects of blood transfusion medicine, examining the immuno-chemistry of blood group antigens, the immune destruction of cells, correlations between blood groups and disease, and the effect transfusion-induced retroviral infection has on immune response.
