A breakthrough discovery of a new blood protein will finally help doctors identify patients whose immune systems react violently against nearly all blood transfusions.
The 'AnWj blood group antigen' has been a mystery for more than 50 years .
But now a team of researchers in the UK have identified which compound in 99.9 percent of human blood carries this AnWj antigen.
Five genetically AnWj negative individuals in the study included a family of Arab-Israelis .
New lab tests will be devised to help pair them with the correct blood for any needed transfusions.
One staffer at Thornton 's 'Red Cell Reference' explained that he himself had been diagnosed with a form of leukemia about 20 years ago that required life-saving blood transfusions and a bone marrow transplant.
