Rh acts as antigen

Explanation:

Rh factor is type of antigen present on RBCs in blood . There are 2 different types of antigens, i.e. antigen A and antigen B.

Depending upon the antigen , the blood groups are A, B , AB and O. If the blood of different blood group is transfused, the plasma will produce antibodies to the antigen present on that blood group, causing the reaction.
