Auberger's Blood Group

Auberger's Blood Group (pronunciation: oh-ber-jerz bluhd groop) is a rare blood group system discovered in 1951. It is named after the first identified individual with this blood type, a Frenchman named Auberger.

Etymology

The term "Auberger's Blood Group" is derived from the surname of the individual in whom the blood group was first identified. The term "blood group" refers to the classification of blood based on the presence or absence of antigens on the surface of red blood cells.

Description

Auberger's Blood Group is characterized by the presence of specific antigens, known as "Auberger antigens", on the surface of red blood cells. These antigens are proteins that can trigger an immune response if they are foreign to the body. The Auberger blood group system is considered a minor blood group system, as it is less common than the major blood group systems, such as the ABO blood group system and the Rh blood group system.

Related Terms

  • Rh blood group system: A blood group system that classifies blood as Rh positive or Rh negative based on the presence or absence of the Rh antigen.
