Abstract

Laboratory and clinical investigation of red blood cell (RBC) incompatibility between patient and donor in the context of transfusion has led to the identification of blood groups whose expression is genetically determined. Blood group antigens are polymorphic, inherited, structural characteristics that are located on proteins, glycoproteins or glycolipids on the exofacial surface of the RBC membrane.
