The RBC surface contains glycoproteins that are specific to the individual and potentially antigenic. Plasma contains antibody like substances known as agglutins - mixing RBCs with the blood of another individual can create an agglutination reaction where the plasma agglutins and the RBC glycoproteins bind together. This is the basis of a transfusion reaction and other blood type abnormalities asociated with reproduction such as [[Neonatal Isoerythrolysis|neonatal isoerythrolysis]] in horses and fading kitten syndrome.
