In emergency situations, blood transfusion is required to save the life of people in need. Blood is transferred from a healthy person to the person in need but this process is not as simple as it seems. RBC's in human blood contains highly specific proteins on its surface known as antigens. The antibodies complementary to the antigen is present in the plasma.
