1. Founder of grouping ABO dried bloodstains 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.
