Rhesus Factor (Rh- Factor) - In 1940 Landsteiner and Wiener discovered and detected an another type of antigen in the human body. In fact this antigen was extracted from a monkey namely Rhesus and that's why it (antigen) is called Rh-Factor.
Thus there are certain blood groups in which agglutinogen is found during Blood Transfusion.
The occurrence of agglutination takes place in the red blood cells of Rhesus Monkey.
Blood posseessing the Rh-Factor is called Rh- positive , while the blood which lacks agglutinogen is called Rh-negetive.
