    Study Notes

    ABO Blood Group System

    • This blood group system is essential for blood transfusions.
    • Individuals naturally have antibodies in their serum that target antigens absent from their red blood cells (RBCs). This occurs without prior exposure to RBCs via transfusion or pregnancy.
    • These antibodies are called naturally occurring due to their formation without prior contact with RBCs.

    ABO Antibodies

    • ABO antibodies are primarily of the IgM type.

    Rh Antibodies

    • Rh antibodies are typically produced after exposure to foreign RBCs, typically through transfusion or pregnancy.
    • Rh antigens are highly immunogenic, with the D antigen being the most potent.
    • Rh antibodies primarily belong to the IgG class, enabling them to cross the placenta.
    • Because Rh antigens develop early in fetal life, Rh antibodies produced by Rh-negative pregnant women can cross the placenta and bind to fetal RBCs that express the Rh antigen.
