Summary Introduction
Introduction:
ABO blood grouping system is basically the classification of human blood on the basis of the inherited properties of the red blood cells or erythrocytes. Erythrocytes are determined via the presence as well as the absence of the antigens A and B that are carried on the surface of the red blood cells (RBCs).
