Why does not clumping occurs when blood group 'a' is transfused in 'ab' blood group?
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)
What is clumping of red blood cells when they are mixed with antiserum?
agglutination
What blood cell are antibodies produced by?
Antibodies are produced by a kind of white blood cell called a plasma cell.
Why you can give patients with group A blood with group O?
Group A blood types have A antibodies attached to their blood cells. Group B blood types have B antibodies attached to their blood cells. If you give a group A blood type a transfusion with type B blood, their body will attack the type B blood cells after sensing foreign antibodies. Since Group O does not have any antibodies attached to the blood cells, you can give it to type A. Type A will not detect foreign antibodies since group O has no antibodies, and therefore, the body will accept the type O blood. All Medical Answers need confirmation and re-confirmation.
Will the B antibody in the plasma donor blood group A agglutinate the A antigen of the AB recipient and Why?
Yes. A person with blood group antibody B can not donate blood to another person with group A because it will agglutinates as they blood group A can only be donated to to a person with blood group A. Even though you donate whole blood, all of it is not given unless you both have the exact blood type. A person with A type (who has B antibodies in their plasma) will only donate their cells. No antibodies will be given. So AB can be given A but without the plasma which has the antibodies.
What is an autoagglutination?
An autoagglutination is the clumping together of an individual's red blood cells by his or her own serum due to being coated on the surface with antibodies.
If an individual is transfused with the wrong type blood the recipients antibodies react with the donors antigens eventually clumping and hemolyzing the donated RBC?
true
What is the clumping of blood known as?
The clumping of blood is known as a blood clot. :)

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)
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.
What is the clumping together of red blood cells when unlike incompatible types of blood are mixed is due to antibodies in the plasma and antigens on the?
On the surface of red blood cells Take A type blood, for instance. It has antigens against B type blood contact on its cell surface.
Why in type ab blood there is agglutination in anti A serum and anti B serum?
As Blood type O contains Anti-A-Antibodies and Anti-B-Antibodies (not Antigens) Anti-A-Serum contains Anti-A-Antibodies (which reacts with A antigen not antibody) Anti-B-Serum contains Anti-B-Antibodies (which reacts with B antigen not antibody) so antibody in antiserum will not find any antigen in blood-group O to react with so no Clumping
Under what conditions might a person with Rh-blood develop Rh antibodies?
The first time an Rh- patient receives blood from an Rh+ donor, the Rh- patient will develop Rh agglutinins (agglutinins=antibodies) in the blood plasma. If the patient receives another Rh+ donation, it will cause agglutination, or clumping of the blood. The red blood cell membranes become leaky and hemoglobin pours into the blood. A possible cause is kidney failure due to excess hemoglobin at filtration sites.
What cause blood clumping?
Platelets, fibrin
How does a vaccination work differently than taking antibodies?
Taking a vaccination - you are enabling your body to produce antibodies. Taking antibodies - you get antibodies, but they eventually disappear from your blood stream, and without them being replenished by your own cells, you lose the protection.
What blood type has no clumping proteins?
Type 'O'
Clumping of blood cells from an immune response?
Agglutination
