Antigens are found in the immune system. They provoke an adaptive immune response.
An antigen is any substance that causes your immune system to produce antibodies against it. An antigen may be a foreign substance from the environment. They can be found anywhere in your environment. Some are found on the surface of red blood cells. This one reason why you can not receive just any blood type.

What are antigens determining blood type carried on?
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.
What antigens and antibodies are found in each type?
immuo-system
Does Type B blood have A antigens?
No, type B blood does not have A antigens. Type B blood has B antigens.
What traits does the blood type A have different then blood type B?
blood type A has type A antigens. blood type B has type B antigens.
Can doctors just give anybody blood they find in their supplies?
No. There are different types of antigens found on blood (A and B) which can only be accepted by people if they don't produce the antibody for it. If you're type A, you can only accept blood from people with type A or type O (O meaning no antigens). Type AB (has both A and B receptors) can accept from either A or B or O. Type O can only accept from type O. There are also other antigens found on blood besides from the ABO group.
How do co-dominant alleles work?
Co-dominant alleles are both expressed, because both are translated into RNA. One of the best examples of co-dominance is human A/B blood type. The thing that differentiates A and B blood types is the antigens found on the surface of the blood cells. A person with two alleles for A-type antigens will have only A-type antigens, and a person with two B-type alleles will have only B-type antigens. However, a person with one A-type allele and one B-type allele will have blood type AB. A third allele, O-type, has no antigens on the surface of blood cells, and so is only "expressed" in the phenotype if a person has two O-type alleles (and therefore no antigens on their blood cells.)
Could a type B child with a type A have a type A father?
No. The child would receive type a antigens from both of their parents and no type b antigens.
What are the A B AB and O blood groups distinguished by?
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.
Substance that determines blood types is found in the membrane of red blood cells?
Antigens. Your blood type depends if you have A, B, AB, or none of those antigens (O). These antigens can also be positive or negative depending on whether you have the Rh antigen, or Rh factor.
Do Group O types have Antigens?
Your husband would be incorrect, blood types that have Antigens would be type A and B and AB. Type O means you do not have any Antigens in your blood.
Which blood types in terms of the ABA and Rh antigens can be donated to somebody with type AB blood?
B+ here is a guide for you: type A - A antigens B antibodies; type B - B antigens A antibodies; Type AB - A&B antigens and no antibodies; type O - no antigens and A&B antibodies. for the rh you just have to add if it is + or -.
What type of agglutinogens does type A blood have?
Type A blood has A antigens.
