Which antibody and antigen combination match each blood type?
The blood type notation A Rh- indicates which antigens and antibodies are present in the blood. A indicates there are A antigens. Rh+ indicates there are Rh antigens. B antibodies. If there are A and Rh antigens but no B antigens, the antibodies in the blood plasma are B antibodies.
Do antibodies attack extracellular or intracellular antigens?

A person who is B positive will have?
B antigens, antibodies to A, and Rh antigens
What do antibodies work against?
Antigens
What is the difference between antibodies and antitoxins?
Antibodies attach to antigens preventing them from attacking cells in the body. Antitoxins attack antigens and destroy them
What kind of antibodies does type AB have?
Since that person has anti-B antibodies, then A antigens are present in her red blood cells. Since that person doesnt have anti-A antibodies, then there are no B antigens present, which means the person has A type blood.
Proteins in blood that bind to antigens?
Antibodies.
Antibodies are protein molecules that attach to?
Antigens
What are produced when the body is exposed to antigens?
