Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Blood typing involves the identification of the protein substances called antigens that are present on the outer surface of the red blood cell membranes. Many different antigens are associated with the human red blood cells and only a few of them are of clinical importance. These include the antigens of the ABO type as well as the Rh type.
