Studied extensively on Blood Groups and types single handedly and Framed the

Landsteiner’s Law in 1904.

Continued to research on Blood groups and types till his death in 1943.

LANDSTEINER’S LAW

1. “If an agglutinogen is present in the red cells of a blood, the corresponding agglutinin
must be absent from the plasma.”

2. “If an agglutinogen is absent in the red cells of a blood, the corresponding agglutinin
must be present in it’s plasma.”

APPLICABILITY
The first law is applicable to all groups and types of blood.It is a logical conclusion.

The second part is a fact, but not necessarily true always. It is a fact for ABO Blood
groups.

The Rh, M,N and other groups or types do not follow the second part of the Landsteiner’s
Law.
