Step 1
In humans, blood contains two major components namely plasma and blood corpuscles. One of the corpuscle is RBC and its membrane is coated with two types of glycoproteins called antigens or agglutinogens. Antigens are glycoproteins present on the membrane of RBC. There are two types of antigens which are designated as A and B. The human blood is classified based on the type of antigen present on the RBC.
Antibodies are proteins present in the blood plasm. There are two types of antibodies or agglutinants. They are designated as antibody a and b which are specific to antigen B and A respectively. Agglutination is a process of clumping or clotting of blood. It is a result of antigen-antibody reaction between different blood groups.
