I'm wondering if this is also a factor in transplants and one area of complications that could be identified prior to transplant. A differing immune system and white blood cells would explain many failed transplants and also this might be one instance in which the immune systems of like blood types differ and effect outcomes. May be more case of not only matching blood type but also immune system compatibility, with this being once example of how they differ.
- maxerickson 10y agoThe understanding of compatibility is already factoring in a great deal more than blood type, it's just that there is so much variation that donors rarely match recipients.
