Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Rh factor is an inherited protein that can be found on the surface of the red blood cell. If your blood type is positive, then your blood cells have the Rh protein. If your blood type is negative, then your blood cells lack the Rh protein.

Detailed explanation-2: -The proteins are indicated as RhD, RhCE (or according to the specific antigens they carry Rhce, RhCe, or RhcE), and include erythroid RhAG and those found in other tissues, RhBG and RhCG.

Detailed explanation-3: -Rh factor is an inherited protein found on the surface of red blood cells. If your blood has the protein, you’re Rh positive. If your blood doesn’t have the protein, you’re Rh negative. The “+” or “–” you might see after your blood type refers to Rh positive or Rh negative.

Detailed explanation-4: -The designation Rh is derived from the use of the blood of rhesus monkeys in the basic test for determining the presence of the Rh antigen in human blood.
