There are four significant types of blood groups – A, B, AB, and O. But Rh factor, a protein present in the human body, can either be positive or negative. Thus creates eight common types of blood groups that we\u2019ll discuss in brief. But before that, check some new posts by us:<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you know? A blood group is determined by the genes that a person inherits from his parents\u2019 DNA. Let\u2019s know more about blood identifying.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are Antigens and Antibodies?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Blood contains red blood cells,<\/span> white blood cells<\/span>, and platelets in plasma. Antigens and antibodies identify the blood group of a person. On the other side, Antibodies are proteins in plasma. These are essential for your body as they alert your immune system about the germs and viruses.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Antigens are protein molecules present in red blood cells.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

ABO System<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are four main types of blood groups defined by the system:<\/span><\/p>\n

Blood Group A – <\/b>A antigens on red cells with B<\/span> antibody in the plasma<\/span>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Blood Group B – <\/b>B antigens with A antibodies in the plasma<\/span><\/p>\n

Blood Group O – <\/b>No antigen with both A and B antibodies in the plasma<\/span><\/p>\n

Blood Group AB- <\/b>Both A and B antigens with no antibody<\/span><\/p>\n

Different Types of Blood Groups Based on Rh System\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Red blood cells often have another antigen, known as the RhD antigen. If it is present in the blood group, then we say your blood group is RhD positive otherwise RhD negative.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
