Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The blood type of a person is determined by the absence or presence of specific surface antigens in the RBC (red blood cell) present within plasma membrane. The surface antigens are basically glycoproteins, also called as agglutinogens, which are exposed to the plasma membrane helps in identification and classification of cells. Three types of surface antigens are quite important, which are A, B, and Rh (D).
