Each red blood cell contains antigens, and the blood itself contains antibodies. If you have type A blood, your red blood cells contain A antigens and have B antibodies. The opposite is true for type B blood.

According to the AB0 blood group system there are four different kinds of blood groups: A, B, AB or 0 (null). Blood group A If you belong to the blood group A, you have A antigens on the surface of your red blood cells and B antibodies in your blood plasma. Blood group B If you belong to the blood group B, you have B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells and A antibodies in your blood plasma. Blood group AB If you belong to the blood group AB, you have both A and B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells and no A or B antibodies at all in your blood plasma. Blood group 0 If you belong to the blood group 0 (null), you have neither A or B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells but you have both A and B antibodies in your blood plasma.

What is the difference between the Bombay blood group and the o negative group?

The Oh negative blood group is the same as the Bombay blood group. The Oh negative group should not be confused with the type O blood group. The Bombay blood group is very rare and results from two recessive H alleles (hh). This means that they cannot produce the "H" antigen, and as a result, they can't produce "A" or "B" antigen on their red blood cells. They can give blood to individuals of any other blood type but can only receive blood from other Bombay blood type individuals.

What is the difference between negative and positive blood types?

Negative and Positive blood types refer to the presence of the Rhesus D (RhD) antigen. Rhesus is the second main blood group typing after the A,B,O system. e.g. AB+ means the blood cells have A and B and RhD antigens present on the blood cell surface. O- means that A and B and RhD antigens are not present on the surface of the blood cell.
