| Rh factor |
the rhesus factor, also known as the "D" factor; a protein found on the surface of red blood cells. In the system established for typing blood, the rh factor determines the "positive" or "negative" aspect (for example, "B postive" or "O negative"). If one is "positive", s/he possesses the rh factor. A rh-negative mother carrying a rh-positive fetus may initiate an immune response against her baby's blood.
