Antigens, by definition, cause the body to produce antibodies which act against them. You inherit certain antigens which are on your red blood cells. Sometimes these antigens are absent from your RBC. If you are type B, you have B antigens. Type A has A antigens, AB has AB antigens and type O has no antigens. If you are type AB, you can receive AB blood from some one else.
When the antibodies in the patient's serum attack antigens on the erythrocytes in donor blood, this is known as red blood cell incompatibility. Patients should receive blood with the same ABO and Rh(D) classification. A and B are dissimilar antigens on the red cells. The immune system recognizes antigens as foreign. O cells do not have A or B antigens.

A and B antigens are present on the red blood cells of Mr. Greens Blood.
Processed fragments of protein antigens displayed on surfaces of body cells.
On the surface of red blood cells Take A type blood, for instance. It has antigens against B type blood contact on its cell surface.
Code 96 donors have a particular combination of antigens that make their red cells rare. An antigen is a type of protein on the outer surface of the red blood cell. When a patient receives a transfusion of blood carrying the same antigens as his or her own blood, the donor red cells are "welcomed" into the body because they do not recognize the transfused cells are foreign. If the patient does not have the same antigens, they may develop antibodies to the antigens and their body may reject or react with future blood transfused with these antigens. Patients who are transfused very often can easily form antibodies (immune responses) to some red cell antigens. Once antibodies from, these patients require very precisely matched transfusions to prevent transfusion reactions and production of more antibodies.

A protein that binds to B antigens and clumps those red blood cells.
Blood types are distinguished by the type of antigen on the red blood cells. Type A has A antigens, type B has B antigens type AB has both antigens and type O has none.
I know that there are red and white blood cells that are made up of antigens and antibodies as well as plasma and platelets. RBCs and WBCs are the main cells
Red blood cells of different groups have different molecules on the surface of their cells these are called antigens. People with blood type A will reject B type blood as they have different antigens on the surface of their cells, these differences are detected by antibodies. Blood type O has none of these antigens and so isn't rejected/detected by the antibodies.
"there are at least 24 blood groups and more then 100 antigens that ca be detected on the surface of red blood cells"- from A&P Book.
