Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Many different antigens are associated with the human red blood cells, and a few of them are of clinical importance. These include the antigens of the ABO group and those of the Rh group. An antigen commonly found on the human red blood cell membrane was first identified in the Rhesus monkey and came to be known as the Rh factor or the Rhesus factor.

b. a type O mother is carrying a type AB fetusc. an Rh+ mother is carrying an Rh− fetus
d. an Rh− mother is carrying a second Rh+ fetus
the disease erythroblastosis fetalis develops in a fetus or a newborn infant with rh-positive blood and an rh-negative mother. symptoms result when maternal anti-rh antibodies cross the placenta and interact with the fetus' erythrocytes. what are the children of rh-positive mothers not at risk for this disease? why are rh-negative fetuses not at risk for this disease?
