Or there should be scientific classification for Blood Group Surname Antigens and Antibodies
Hi, Shibabrata Pattanayak
Present Rh blood group system is not at all related with the Rhesus. Original Rh antibodies is presently LW antibodies ( Landsteiner and Weiner )
thanks and regards
Dear Dharmesh,
here is most recent classification of blood group system and collections by International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) :

All the best,

Dear Marcin
Thanks for the valuable feed back
yes there is ISBT nomenclature of blood group system . It is numerical only 6 digit first 3 for blood group & rest thee for antigen . For A of ABo Group it is 001001 but blood group symbols and blood group remain the same and ISBT nomincluture still not in practical
thanks
The symbol Rh represents the first two letters of the word 'Rhesus'. The factor initially reported by Landsteiner and Wiener as 'Rh', and was thought to be present both in rhesus cells and in human cells, was subsequently found to be Lw antigen and not the one now called Rh. The term Rh though a misnomer, was retained to define the human blood group system known as Rh-Hr system. The British workers, however, use C-D-E notation for this system. The choice of nomenclature is, in part, a choice between the Wiener theory of allelic genes at a single locus and the Fisher-Race theory of three closely linked loci. While the Rh-Hr notation is in vogue in USA, the C-D-E notation, which is convenient for the beginners to understand, is followed in UK and several other countries.
