ABO System and Rh factor

Blood type - Rh factor presence

What is the ABO blood system?

The ABO blood system classifies blood types based on the presence of specific A and B antigens on the surface of red blood cells. The four main types are A, B, AB, and O, which are determined by the alleles inherited from parents. This system is critical for blood transfusions because blood with incompatible antigens can trigger a severe immune response (or an agglutination reaction)

What is this?

Type A blood because it presents Antigen A and Anti-B antibody.

What is this?

Type B blood because it presents Antigen B and Anti-A antibody.

What is this?

Type AB blood (universal recipient) because it has both A and B antigens, and no antibodies.

What is this?

Type O blood (universal donor, but cannot receive blood from A, B, or AB donors) because it has no antigens and both Anti-B and A antibodies.

What is the Rh Factor?

The Rh Factor is a protein found on the surface of red blood cells (if you are Rh-positive you can receive blood from an Rh-positive or Rh-negative person, but you are Rh-negative person you can only receive blood from an Rh-negative person)
