The differences in human
blood are due to the
presence or absence of
certain protein
molecules called
antigens and antibodies.
A foreign substance
that causes the body
to produce antibodies
What your body
produces to protect
“your body”
The antigens are
located on the surface
of the red blood cells
and the antibodies are
in the blood plasma.
Individuals have different
types and combinations of
these molecules. The blood
group you belong to
depends on what you have
inherited from your parents.
Not all blood groups are compatible with
each other. Mixing incompatible blood
groups leads to blood clumping or
agglutination, which is dangerous for
individuals.
According to the AB0
AB0 blood
blood typing system
grouping system there are four
different kinds of
blood types: A, B, AB
or 0 (null).
Blood group A
A antigens on the surface of
your red blood cells and B
antibodies in blood plasma.
Blood group B
B antigens on the surface of
your red blood cells and A
antibodies in blood plasma.
Blood group AB
both A and B antigens on the
surface of your red blood cells
and no A or B antibodies in
blood plasma.
Blood group 0
neither A or B antigens on the
surface of your red blood cells
but both A and B antibodies in
blood plasma.
Rh factor
• An antigen (Protein) on the red blood cell's
surface.
• Rh+ you have this protein on surface of
blood cells
• Rh- blood does not have Rh antibodies
naturally in the blood plasma (as one can
have A or B antibodies, for instance).
A person with Rh- blood can develop Rh antibodies in the blood plasma if he or she receives blood from a
person with Rh+ blood, whose Rh antigens can trigger the production of Rh antibodies. A person with Rh+
blood can receive blood from a person with Rh- blood without any problems.
