<br />
* Involves B lymphocytes, which may recognize foreign antigens and produce antibodies as part of an immune response<br />
* Humoral immunity involves immune system related fluids, such as antibodies, complement, etc.<br />
<br />
=== Protein & Carbohydrate Antigens ===<br />
There are two main antigen types, protein and carbohydrate.<br />
<br />
* Protein antigens are coded directly, and are integrated into the red cell membrane<br />
* These are unique, and well-developed at birth<br />
** Rh<br />
** Kidd<br />
** Diego, GIL, Colton, Kx, etc.<br />
* Carbohydrate antigens are modified by the addition of sugars and are produced on the surface of the RBC<br />
* These can be similar to other non-self antigens (e.g., from bacteria, pollen, etc.) and are not well-developed at birth<br />
** ABO<br />
** H<br />
** Lewis<br />
** I and Ii<br />
