The A-B-O system is a means of classifying blood by the antigens located on the surface of the red blood cells and the antibodies circulating in the plasma.
An individual's red blood cells may carry A antigen, a B antigen, both A and B antigens, or no antigens at all.
These antigen patterns are called blood types A, B, AB, O respectively.
