are u sure about that??
I think that transfering serum really needed blood group identification. because serum contains aglutinin that might aglutinate the aglutinogen...
transfering eritrocytes need blood identification either
but transfering leucocytes don`t need it

Serum contains little amount of antigen that is why it can be given without knowing the blood group. But the best explanation for this is that because the glycoprotein which is the determinant of a specific blood group is found in red blood cells and not in the serum.

serum or plasma is not identifiable. it's just the fluid that the identifiables float around in. when extracted, the identifiables are removed.
