ANS: An antigen is a foreign molecule that, when introduced into the body, triggers the production of
an antibody by the immune system. The antigens of the ABO blood group are located on the surface of
red blood cell membrane and these are called as antigen A and antigen B. The ABO blood group system
was completely determined by these antigens present on the surface of RBC (red blood cells).
4. ANS: Agglutinins and Agglutinogens are a specific type of antibody or other substance that causes
agglutination. In the blood these are the proteins that can exist on the surface of every red blood cell in
the body.
5. ANS: Agglutination: It is a process by which blood cells clump together when an antibody

antigen and antibody which leads to clumping of antigen and antibody.
AB Blood group can have both A and B antigens on the surface of RBC
