Yes!
There are two subtypes of the A-bloodgroup:
80% have group A1, and 20% have group A2.
This is relevant in the donations of organs.
Group A2 activates the immune defence in the recipient a lot less, which is good.
People with group A2 are therefore preffered as donors.
But I think that if you'll ever need a kidney yourself, you're better off with having group A1.

∙ 13y agoThe International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) currently recognises 30 major blood group systems In addition to A, B, AB and O - there are subtypes under this grouping (listed as A1, A2, A1B or A2B…) some of which are quite rare.

∙ 11y agoYes. Blood type A1B is the predominant subgroup of the overall type AB group. Approximately 80% of group A and group AB individuals react with anti-A1 reagent and are classified as A1 or A1B.
Red cell phenotype is determined by the presence or absence of terminal sugars on the red cell membrane. On red cells with the "A" sugar, subgroups are determined by the number of antigens on the cell surface. Type A1 cells contain the most antigen sites, followed by A2. Progressively weaker A subgroups are labeled A3, Ax, Am, Ael.

Is there any blood group like A1B in human body?
No such thing. There is blood type: A, B, AB, and O. There are antigens and antibodies to each. O is the universal donor while AB is the universal recipient.
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.
Ab blood group?
If you are in the AB blood group, you can only donate blood to others in the AB group. You can receive blood from any group.
What blood type should each kind should donate to and receive from?
Blood group A can donate and receive blood from blood group A. Blood group B can donate and receive blood from blood group B. Blood group AB can donate only to blood group AB and receive from any other blood group (they are universal recipent) Blood group O can donate to any other blood group ( they are universal donor) and can receive from only blood group O.
Do blood group O with Rh plus can give blood to any blood group?
yes
Is O positive universal blood group?
no O positive is not a universal blood group. it is O negative which could be donated to any person of any blood group
Is ab plus blood group take blood from another blood group?
Yes, theoretically a person with AB+ blood group can accept blood of any other group. But practically it is not practiced.
Which blood group can receive blood from all blood group?
People with AB+ blood can receive blood of any type. This is the reason why AB+ is called the universal recipient.
Is there any MN blood group in humans?
Yes. You have MN system of blood group in humans.
What are the advantages of blood group o positive?
The advantage of the blood group O positive is that O positive blood can be given to any blood group. This is especially important when it comes to blood shortages.
Which blood group is the only one that can be given in transfusion to any other blood group?
o negative
What is universal donor and recipient?
Blood group O is known as the "universal donor" because it has no antigens on its red blood cells and can therefore be safely given to any blood group. Blood Group AB is known as the "universal recipient" because it has no antibodies in its plasma and so can safely receive blood from any other blood group.
