Does a RH negative individual normally contain anti RH antibodies?

No. Rh-antibodies only develop in cases of pregnancy, miscarriage or a blood transfusion like if you have rh-negative blood you got AB blood. Your RH-antibodies then work to attack the foreign substance, the RBCS. In the fetus, loss of RBCS means the rise of bilburin and could eventually lead to brain damage or (kernictous), and also have low muscle tone(hypotonia)

Is there such a thing as a universal blood type ?
Some time ago, blood type O negative was considered to be a universal blood type. However, even O negative can contain antibodies that can be harmful to the receiver.
What is the fraction of plasma proteins that contain antibodies?
immunoglobulins
Do cells contain blood?
No, the blood serum does not contain any cells. Serum contains non-coagulation related proteins, electrolytes, antibodies, antigens, hormones, and anything that was introduced into the body from an external source (i.e. drugs and microorganisms). Blood cells are normally found in blood plasma.
What are blood fluids that contain antibodies and act more quickly than vaccines called?
antivenins
Does cheese contain silica?
Cheese should not (and does not normally) contain silica.
Does fire contain barium?
No, not normally.
What does blood contain that fight diseases?
Blood contains white blood cells and antibodies that fight disease,
Does modeling chocolate contain eggs?
Normally modelling chocolate does not contain eggs.
What do electrons mostly contain?
Electrons contain or maintain or have or are a negative charge. They do not contain anything physical that you can take out.
Which antigen does type AB blood contain?
antigen a and b and they have no antibodies.
How are immunization and immunoglobulin alike?
The term "immunisation" refers to the use of immunoglobulins and vaccines in order to protect people from infectious diseases. Vaccines contain minute amount of inactive infectious organisms whereas immunoglobulins contain antibodies.
What does blood type mean?
When an individual has type AB blood, it means the surface of their blood cells contain both A and B antigenic markers. A person with AB blood does not produce antibodies against either of these markers, thus their body does not mount an immune response against their own blood cells. A and B are two distinct antigenic markers/targets that antibodies can attack. Humans can have either A, B, both AB or neither A or B antigens. Your blood type designates the antigen your cells display. Since your body tolerates the type of blood you have, your body will not produce antibodies against your own blood type (otherwise you would be dead as your immune system would mount an attack on your own blood). However, your body will produce antibodies against the other antigenic markers that you do NOT normally exhibit. For example, a type B individual (who produces anti-A antibodies because they are not supposed to have type A blood cells in their body) cannot accept type A blood, otherwise their anti-A antibodies would attack the blood cells leading to immunorejection. An individual with type O blood has neither A or B antigens on the surface of their blood cells and thus can donate this blood to any other individual, since the blood will not be attacked by antibodies that target either A or B antigens. O is thus the universal donor, while AB is the opposite and is the universal acceptor as it tolerates both A and B antigens. Your body produces antibodies against anything it intends to attack, such as viruses, bacteria, and other foreign particles. The agent your body produces that does the attacking is called an antiBODY. The thing that gets attacked by an antibody is an antiGEN.
