Short Answer: Type A blood can receive a transfusion from Types A or O.

Why?

The blood cell has a protein identifier (antigen) on its outer cell membrane.

If the person is Type A, B or O, they also have an antibody in their plasma (blood fluid) that protects the person against either Type A or B transfusions.

  1. Type A plasma carries the antibody "I hate B" that would agglutinate a Type B or AB transfusion.
  2. Type A has no antibodies to Type O cells & therefore O would be a candidate.
  3. Type A has no antibodies against itself and therefore A would be a candidate.
Please keep in mind that there are 32 different blood-group systems on the human blood cell, and ABO is only one of them. Even if two people have been told that they have the same blood type (ABO and Rh factor), their blood may not be compatible for transfusion.
