Chemical basis of ABO subgroups

Weak-subgroups/phenotypes are potential windows into the biochemistry of the ABO blood group system, due to the absence of dominating structures, and/or enhancement of trace antigens caused by a loss in normal competition. The aim of this thesis was to gain insights into chemical basis of the ABO sy ...
