WHAT
ARE BLOOD GROUPS?
|
Red blood cells or erythrocytes are present in the blood and contain certain proteins on their surface. These proteins are called antigens. The plasma which is the liquid part contains antibodies which will attack certain antigens if they are present. There are various types of red blood cell antigens - the ABO and
Rhesus types are the most
important. By the time a person is six months old, he naturally will have developed antibodies against the antigens his red blood cells lack.
