ABO blood group system is widely credited to have been discovered by the
Austrian scientist Karl Kandsteiner who found three different blood types. In
1900 he described A, B and O blood groups for which he was awarded the Nobel
Prize in 1930.

Alfred uon Decastello and Andraino Sturli discovered the fourth types
AB, in 1902. Due to inadequate communication at the time it was subsequently
found that the Czech serologist Jan Jasky had independently pioneered the
classification of human blood into four(4) groups, but accepted by the
scientific world while Jansky remain in obscurity.

The designation A and B with reference to blood groups was pioneered
(proposed) by Ludwik Hirszfed in America. W.L Moss published his own (very
similar) work in 1910. Ludwik Hisfed and E. Von Dungern discovered the
heritability of ABO blood groups in 1910-1911, Felix Bernstan demonstrating the
correct blood group inheritance pattern of multiple alleles at one locus in
1924. Watkins and Morgan, in England discovered that the ABO epitope where
conferred to sugar to be specific, N-acetygalactosamine for the A-type and
galactose for B-type.
