Type AB blood doed not contain any antibodies. I does have Antigens A and B.
It does, just not for other blood. It has antibodies for viruses and pathogens though.
Anti A antibody and Anti B antibody
No antibody
Type A blood has the A antigen and the Antibody anti- B Type B blood has the B antigen and the Antibody anti-a Type AB has antigens AB Type O blood has no antigens, and both the antibodies anti-a and anti-b AB is the universal receiver and O is the universal donor.
Antibody
epitopes on the antigen while the paratopes on the antibody
No. An antigen is something that an antibody will inactive. It is an antibody inducing agent.
Basically to explain this, an antigen is any type of pathogen that causes disease, while an antibody is something that combats against the antigen.
Antigen is the opposite of antibody.
Surface antigen
An antibody reacts to the specific antigen it is made to attach to. It is like the lock and key model; it locks onto the antigen.
due to antigen antibody reaction. it is the principal of the blood group
Having AB blood means you already have both A and B antigens in your organisms, so you DON'T have the antibodies, the A antigen doesn't affect the AB recipient 'cause it doesn't consider it as foreign (it's the same for the B antigen)
When an antibody attaches onto an antigen it destroys the antigen to help your body fight off a disease.
The 4 blood types are:A - type A blood has antigen A and antibody anti-BB - type B blood has antigen B and antibody anti-AAB - blood type AB has both antigens A and B and has no antibodiesO - Type O blood has no antigens but has both antibodies anti-A and anti-B
