In today's blood transfusions only concentrates of red blood cells without serum are transmitted, which is of great importance in surgical practice. In 1930 Landsteiner was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in recognition
Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine contributed directly to the ability of Watson and Crick to solve the structure of the DNA molecule. But Avery died in 1955, Franklin died in 1958 and posthumous nominations for the Nobel Prize are not permitted. However, recently unsealed files of the Nobel Prize nominations reveal that no one ever nominated Franklin for the prize when she was alive.
