AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE- disease that results when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues. BLOOD-TYPE REACTION- potentially deadly reaction when blood is transfused with a person where blood does not match the donors.

AGGLUTINATION- clumping of red blood cells due to a reaction between antigens on red blood cell plasma membranes and antibodies in the plasma. RH SYSTEM- antigen found in red blood cells, 89% of us has it.
