Abstract
The majority of the blood group characters treated in this monograph are defined as serological properties of the erythrocyte membrane. The expression of these characters is highly influenced by the structure and prevailing constitution of the membrane. It is therefore appropriate to present a concise survey on membrane composition and structure.
