The ABO blood typing system are the primary factors. There are other factors as the Rhesus factors c, C, d, D, e, E which form CDE, cde, or any combination of upper/lower case (in both genes), such as cDe. the factor D is the main one in determining that this system is positive or negative. You say a person is "O neg" when they have the "d" factor in both genes. "cC and eE" can cause some problems (that is the primary reason to cross-match blood for transfusion) in receiving blood. Remember that there are two genes to be concerned with. So a person either has the "D" or "d" factor. These factors were discovered in the Rhesus Monkeys, therefore "rhesus d" factor.

These are the main factors to be concerned about in transfusing blood, although there are a few other "families" of factors that enter in.

Transplanting organs is a whole other story as there are almost 100 factors to account fore.

positive and negative stands for either Rhesus Positive or Rhesus negative which means that a persons Red blood cells (RBC) either have D antigens on their cell surface membranes or not. a person who is Rhesus negative will have D Antibodies in the blood plasma and can only be given Rhesus negative blood types in a blood transfusion. Rhesus positive blood types can be given either D+ or D- in a blood transfusion as they have no D antibodies in their blood plasma. hope this helps
