  "term": "Blood group",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A system for categorizing blood, determined by the specific inherited antigens present on the exterior surface of erythrocytes. These surface molecules can provoke an immune reaction if introduced into a recipient whose own cells lack them, making compatibility testing necessary for transfusions. The ABO system, based on A and B antigens, and the Rh system, based on the D antigen, are the most clinically relevant classifications.",
