Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Red blood cells (RBCs) or erythrocytes carry oxygen from lungs to different tissues of the body. There are different blood types namely, type A, B, AB, and O, which is based on the presence of a specific surface antigen on the plasma membrane of the RBCs. Apart from the blood group type, the rhesus (Rh) factor is also considered for checking the compatibility between different blood group types.
