Which of the following is not an antigen that may be found on the surface of an erythrocyte a A antigen b B antigen c O antigen d Rh antigen?
A antigen
Does o blood type have a antigens?
Has no antigen in many textbooks it will state "no A-antigen and no B-antigen"(which imply the possibility of some other antigen) and some will even say, "no antigen" (which is true; antigens are things that attach to antigen binding sites, thus, if it does not fit any antigen binding sites, it is technically not a antigen but merely a "enzyme/protein") but this is just to reduce unnecessary and irrelevant information; they are only concerned about A-antibody, B-antibody, A-antigen, and B-antigen. Nonetheless, know that there are in fact antigens on o blood cells, they are just inactive. My guess is, N acetyl glactosamine on A antigen and Galactose on B antigens are Epitopes (: a small specific regions on antigens that are bound by the antigen receptors on lymphocytes and by secreted antibodies.) Antigens without epitopes will not be detected by antigen binding sites.
Of the antigens in the rh group?
The most important Rh antigen is the D antigen.
What does an antigen do?

What is the difference between agglutinogens and agglutinin?
When the immune system cause cross linking of cells or particles an agglutination reaction occurs and the responsible antibody is an agglutininAgglutinogens are1. any substance that, acting as an antigen, stimulates the production of agglutinin.2. the particulate antigen used in conducting agglutination tests.
Contrast between agglutinin and agglutinogen?
When the immune system cause cross linking of cells or particles an agglutination reaction occurs and the responsible antibody is an agglutininAgglutinogens are1. any substance that, acting as an antigen, stimulates the production of agglutinin.2. the particulate antigen used in conducting agglutination tests.
