These proteins are strongly antigenic and are associated with naturally occurring antibodies in the serum. The system consists of three allelic genes - A, B and O - which control synthesis of enzymes that add carbohydrate residues to cell surface glycoproteins. A and B genes add specific residues while the O gene is an amorph and does not transform the glycoprotein. The system allows for six possible genotypes although there are only four phenotypes. Naturally occurring antibodies are found in the serum of those lacking the corresponding antigen (Table2.7).
Blood loss and blood transfusion

Human red cells have the presence of almost 300 different antigens. In the ABO system, there is the presence of one of the three allelic genes A, B, or O antigens, where O is an amorph. The presence or absence of A or B surface antigens therefore determines blood grouping (Table 27.3). Individuals lacking the specific antigen produce alloantibodies to the missing antigen in the first year of life.

Similar research on the EO composition of this plant from Kumaun and Garhwal region (K and G) of Himalaya showed some similarities and differences with this work, for example some of the major compounds like camphene, α-phellandrene, cymene, bornyl acetate, and bisabolol are present in K and G region and Palampur in Himachal Pradesh, though the percentage of these abundant compounds varies (Padalia et al.2010). Moreover, some compounds like amorpha-4,7(11)-dien-8-one (5.7%), amorph-4-en-ol (9.6%), and 3-acetoxyamorpha-4,7(11)-dien-8-one (7.8%) are conspicuously absent from this work but present in Kumaun and Garhwal region (Padalia et al.2009) while compounds like α-epi-cadinenol (16.63%), muurolene (2.83%) and γ- himachalene are present in this work but absent in K and G region.

Thermal behaviour of the CIP, PCL, chitosan, and CIP-loaded nanoparticles (F30) is shown in Figure 4. The pure PCL exhibits an endothermic event (65 °C) referring to the relaxation peak that follows Tg due to the amorphous phase of PCL as reported in our previous study (Devrim et al. 2016). There was an endothermic peak at 67.5 °C, which was because of the evaporation of crystal water in chitosan and the endothermic peak at 224.5 °C was the melting peak of chitosan which led to the damage of crystal structure (Fei et al. 2016). Figure 4 illustrates that CIP gives a sharp endothermic peak at 143 °C. This result is in agreement with previously found results (Karimi et al. 2016). However, there was no evidence of an endothermic peak related to CIP in the F30 coded formulation. It means that drug substance turned amorph form and be trapped in polymer matrix (Elkheshen et al. 2013; Przybyslawska et al. 2013). Additionally, Tg value of PCL was shifted to 55 °C because of quick evaporation of DCM during preparation of nanoparticles (Türk et al. 2009).
