What types of blood groups are there?
Everyone’s blood type is determined by their inherited genes and indicates which category the blood belongs to. The most common and well-known blood groups are A, B, AB, and O. These blood groups fall under the ABO system.
Explanation of the ABO group determination: Which blood group of the ABO group do you have? Your blood type is determined by inherited genes, and the blood group scheme is as follows:
Blood group A – on the red blood cells in this blood group, there is a protein that is also called antigen A.
Blood group B – on the red blood cells in this blood group, there is a protein that is also called antigen B.
Blood group AB – on the red blood cells in this blood group, there are both the proteins antigen A and antigen B.
Blood group O – on the red blood cells in this blood group, there are no proteins.
In principle, the antigen only occurs in the body against the blood group that it does not have. The blood plasma can have one, both, or no antibodies against antigen. With De Tester’s self-test kit, you can easily and quickly determine your blood type and rhesus factor in the comfort of your own home. Order now and receive your kit the next day.
