Why does not clumping occurs when blood group 'a' is transfused in 'ab' blood group?

∙ 16y ago
Packed red blood cells type A do not contian enough Anti-B antibody to cause a reaction in AB type people. The plasma (liquid portion of blood) contains the antibodies. This is mostly removed when blood products are processed in a blood bank. Antibodies are what causes red blood cells to agglutinate (clump)

∙ 13y agoBecause blood group O is missing the blood factors found in type A, B or AB -agglutination only occurs when donor red blood cells and recipient's are incompatible.
Agglutination will occur if a type O recipient is given A, B or AB type donation.

∙ 13y ago"Clumping" or coagulation is caused when antibodies attach to their respective and oposite antigens. O blood is negative for Anti-A and Anti-B so there is not attatchment causing clumping

How does agglutination occur in blood group?
agglutination occurs depending on what your blood type group deems as an invader. one blood type group may deem wheat lectins as harmfull and will cause the blood to agglutinate in order to protect / repair.... another will not. simply put " one mans food is another mans poison "
Can an individual with O blood group donates his blood to an A blood group person?
A person with Type O can donate to any other blood type, but can only receive blood from another Type O person. A person having blood group O (with absence of Rh-factor) only can donate his blood to any other individual. Rh or Antigen-D is a factor which decides the positivity or negativity of the blood, so the blood group O-negative is considered the universal donor, as it does not effect any of other blood groups.
Which blood group can accept the blood of any group?
which blood group can be donate to all other groups? "O" positive blood group. it's called universal donor.
A man with blood group a married with a woman blood group o what is the blood group?
A or O
Why blood group o should not receive blood from other groups?
Blood group O has both a and b antibodies, therefore receiving blood from blood group A, the A-antigens will agglutinate with the b-antibodies of the person with blood group O. Receiving blood from blood group B will also cause agglutination of its b-antigens and the blood group O's a-antibodies.
What is the clumping of red blood cells called?
it occur due to mismatch of blood. if recipient is denoted wrong type of blood group for example if a recipient have blood group a if he or she have donated blood group b they the anti antigen A present in blood group b will destroy the blood group A this is called clumping of blood.
Why clumping takes place when ab blood group is given to o group?
due to antigen antibody reaction. it is the principal of the blood group
Can an individual with O blood group donates his blood to an A bloods group person?
An individual with an "O" blood type can be transfused to any other blood type, since type "O" blood is the universal blood type. This includes an "A" blood type.
is A positive blood a universal donor type?
O negative is the universal donor because when O+ve blood group is transfused to -ve blood group recipient, antibodies are produced which causes hemolysis of Rh +ve labelled blood cells. When O-ve blood is transfused to Rh +ve recipient, no antibodies are produced as donor blood has no Rh factor present on blood cells, so no transfusion reaction occurs. Thus, O -ve is universal donor.
What could go wrong if blood type A is put in a patient having blood type B?
The antibodies in blood group B will destroy the blood group A cells. They will actually cause clumping and therefore clots which will cause a heart attack.
Type o blood doesn't have what?
Type O blood group's RBC doesn't have any antigen on it's surface, that is why it can be safely transfused to any person(at last theoretically).
What is a hemolytic reaction to a blood transfusion?
Most severe type, but rare incompatible blood incompatibility in multiple transfusions. Mostlikely to occurs when transfused red cells react with circulating antibody in the recipient with resultant intravascular hemolysis. When a group O patient is mistakenly transfused with group A, B, or AB blood. Patients receiving a major ABO- incompatible marrow or stem cell transplant with sufficient red cell content will likely develop an acute hemolytic reaction. Symptoms are: fever, chills and fever, the feeling of heat along the vein in which the blood is being transfused, pain in the lumbar region, constricting pain in the chest, tachycardia, hypotension, and hemoglobinemia with subsequent hemoglobinuria and hyperbilirubinemia. Prevention: proper identification of patients, pre-transfusion blood samples and blood components at the same time of transfusion.

Why blood type ab cant donate to the other blood type?
Type A, Rh negative red cells can be, and are frequently, transfused to AB, rh negative recipients. Type A, Rh negative whole blood, however, cannot be given to an AB, Rh negative recipient as anti-B antibodies present in the unit could cause an acute, hemolytic transfusion reaction. Whole blood transfusions are rarely used in modern transfusion medicine.
Which is the uneversal blood recepeint?
Blood type O is known as the universal blood group as it occurs most often in humans.
What is the benefit of blood in bags?
The benefit of blood in bags is that when a serious accident occurs and we need to give blood to the patient, after verifying what blood group he/she belongs to we can donate them blood.
Which group is the universal donor and why?
O negative blood group is universal donor, it is bcz it haz no agglutinogen (antigens which r specific proteins on the surface of RBCs), so when transfused there will be no agglutinogen in it to react with agglutinins(defencive prteins /antibodies) present in the recipients blood. O (oh) is actually zero that indicates that no antigens are present on RBC surface.
