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.

What does plus and - stand for in blood group?
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

What types of blood can a receive?
Type O or type A broadly speaking. it also depends on other proteins found on the surface of donated blood cells such as rhesus proteins. someone can be rhesus plus or rhesus minus meaning they either have the protein or don't. You can only receive blood of the same rhesus type of as your own for example: A rhesus positive can only receive A rhesus positive or O rhesus positive

Negative and Positive blood types refer to the presence of the Rhesus D (RhD) antigen. Rhesus is the second main blood group typing after the A,B,O system. e.g. AB+ means the blood cells have A and B and RhD antigens present on the blood cell surface. O- means that A and B and RhD antigens are not present on the surface of the blood cell.
What blood types would your parents have to be to have a child with A positive blood type?
Discounting rare but possible mutations the following holds true. Parents blood groups A and A, A and B, A and O, B and B, B and O, O and O can produce type O blood in their children. The rhesus factor (Rhesus positive/rhesus negative) depends on the rhesus pairing in the parents as follows: Father rhesus positive, mother rhesus positive or rhesus negative = rhesus positive or rhesus negative Father rhesus negative, mother rhesus positive = rhesus positive or rhesus negative Father rhesus negative, mother rhesus negative = rhesus negative Example: A rhesus positive father and rhesus positive mother of blood type A and O respectively could produce an O positive child, as could a rhesus positive father and rhesus negative mother both of blood group O.
