    Karl Landsteiner discovered the ABO blood group system in 1901 which consists of A, B, AB, and O blood types based on antigens on red blood cells. There are also weak subgroups of A and B blood types that have lower levels of antigens. Understanding a person's blood type is important for blood transfusions to avoid transfusion reactions between incompatible blood types.
