Red Blood Cell (RBC) Antibodies What is a red blood cell antibody? An antibody is a protein made by your body. Antibodies usually bind to foreign substances, such as bacteria and viruses, and destroy them. A red blood cell antibody is one that âattacksâ red blood cells. Your red blood cells have certain âmarkersâ on them, called antigens. If your immune system sees a red blood cell antigen that is âforeignâ (such as from a blood transfusion), it will make antibodies to destroy it. How does a person get RBC antibodies?
