Its not O, its 0!
The correct term is 0 (zero) and not O (letter)! This is due to the absence of A and B antigen! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.108.206.137 (talk) 22:43, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Austrian, American, both?
What are the guidelines in that respect? He moved to the US late in life and then later also became American citizen. Most of his life, and perhaps most of his research, was in Austria. Is this really best described as "American of Austrian origins"? Also, in the small box on the right, what are the guidelines?Elephas (talk)

Better structure
I suggest an improved structure of the article plus more details about Landsteiner's influence in medical research. --Hans555 16:19, 29 September 2007 (UTC) I suggest hey talk a little more about his Adulthood and hobbies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.162.152.133 (talk) 13:59, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

Possible Copyright Violation?
