ABO and Rh: Blood type is determined by the antigens found on the surface of red blood cells. There are many groups of antigen systems, the two more important are ABO and rh. A person could be typed as a, b, ab or o and either rh positive or negative. The most common is o positive, the least common is ab negative.
