Introduction 

The classification of blood based on the presence or absence of antibodies and hereditary antigenic compounds on the surface of red blood cells is known as a blood type (also known as a blood group).

Depending on the blood group system, these antigens could be proteins, carbohydrates, glycoproteins, or glycolipids. Some of these antigens can be found on the surface of numerous other cell types found in different organs. A blood group system is made up of a number of these red blood cell surface antigens that can all come from the same allele (or different gene).
