What does Rh stands for?
Rh is an antigen. If you have the antigen, your blood type is A+, B+, AB+, or O+. If you don't have the antigen, your blood type is A-, B-, AB-, or O-. People WITH the Rh antigen, can receive from/give to people with Rh+ or Rh-. People WITHOUT the Rh antigen, can ONLY receive from/give to people with Rh- blood. (meaning people without the antigen) If Rh- and Rh+ blood comes in contact, the Rh- will produce antibodies towards Rh+, and at the second contact with the blood, will cause agglutination.
What is DU negative factor in blood?
Rh blood type is determined by the presence or absence of the D antigen. People who are Rh positive have the D antigen and those that are Rh negative lack this. Some people have a variant of the D antigen, called Du. Presence of Du antigen causes lab results to report the blood type as Rh negative, although the patient behaves as an Rh positive would. Du negative means a "true Rh negative" result.

If you are Rh negative, there is no antigen on the outer membrane. The ABO and Rh blood types are just 2 of the 32 blood-type components of the red blood cell.
