  1. Founder of grouping ABO dried bloodstains Leone Lattes PowerPoint by: Sara Glowacz and Joanna Pupa

  2. Leone Lattes was a professor at the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Turin Italy. Dr. Lattes developed a procedure to apply blood testing to stains on fabric and other materials. He used a method for determining the ABO type of bloodstains that relied on detection of the specific antibodies. 

  3. In 1915 he came up with a procedure in which dried bloodstains could be grouped as A, B, AB or O, by using saline solution to restore dried blood to its liquid form. In 1932, he invented a way to test for antibodies in dried blood flakes as well. Latte's procedure of ABO typing of dried blood was the first of its kind.

  4. Present Dr. Latte's procedure is still used today by some forensic scientists. Tests for the ABO antibodies in bloodstains are called Lattes tests.
