What happens if anti-B antibodies are mixed with group B red cells?

In a test tube the red cells agglutinate, ie. stick together. In vivo you have a transfusion reaction and kill the patient.

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.
Why the antibodies anti A and anti B in blood group O do not destroy cells of blood group A or B destroy?
They do sometimes. Sometimes an O mother's anti-A and anti-B antibodies come in contact with an A, B, or AB baby's blood and cause problems with the baby's blood by destroying its blood cells and the baby may need a blood transfusion.
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.
Why is it safe to transfuse blood group O to a patient?
Red blood cells of different groups have different molecules on the surface of their cells these are called antigens. People with blood type A will reject B type blood as they have different antigens on the surface of their cells, these differences are detected by antibodies. Blood type O has none of these antigens and so isn't rejected/detected by the antibodies.
Why blood group o should not receive blood from other groups?
Blood group O has both a and b antibodies, therefore receiving blood from blood group A, the A-antigens will agglutinate with the b-antibodies of the person with blood group O. Receiving blood from blood group B will also cause agglutination of its b-antigens and the blood group O's a-antibodies.
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.
What are blood groups and what is their importance?
Blood type is determined by antibodies and antigens present in red blood cells antibodies A and B for blood group A and B, when there's no antibodies it is group AB, when both antibodies A and B is present then it is group O
What are the 4 kinds of blood?
According to the AB0 blood group system there are four different kinds of blood groups: A, B, AB or 0 (null). Blood group A If you belong to the blood group A, you have A antigens on the surface of your red blood cells and B antibodies in your blood plasma. Blood group B If you belong to the blood group B, you have B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells and A antibodies in your blood plasma. Blood group AB If you belong to the blood group AB, you have both A and B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells and no A or B antibodies at all in your blood plasma. Blood group 0 If you belong to the blood group 0 (null), you have neither A or B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells but you have both A and B antibodies in your blood plasma.
What is the group of the diseases that occur when antibodies develop and begin to destroy the body's own cells?
immunodeficiency diseases
A person with type A blood has antibodies to?
Type A blood will produce antibodies against B antigens.
What type of white blood cells make antibodies?
There are two types of white blood cell. The kind which secrete antibodies to kill microbes are called lymphocytes. The other type, which engulf microorganisms, are called phagocytes.*Specifically, the type of lymphocyte (white blood cell) that produces antibodies would be plasma cells. After a B cell (a type of lymphocyte) undergoes clonal selection, the result is the formation of a clone of B cells that consists of plasma cells and memory B cells. Plasma cells secrete antibodies and memory B cells do not secrete antibodies.
How can the blood group O transfer their blood to the blood group A though the former has an Antibody A?
Because the blood cells from the O-group donor have no antigens which would react with the A-antibodies in the recipient.
What group of proteins mark foreign invaders and attract phagocytes to destroy them?
B cells release antibodies that attach to foreign invaders and mark them for destruction by phagocytes.
What is reverse blood group testing?
Blood typing procedure wherein the antibodies are determined rather than the Antigen (Direct Typing). Uses pool A cells and pool B cells.
Why the antibodies anti A and anti B in blood group O do not destroy cells of blood group A or B destroy?
They do sometimes. Sometimes an O mother's anti-A and anti-B antibodies come in contact with an A, B, or AB baby's blood and cause problems with the baby's blood by destroying its blood cells and the baby may need a blood transfusion.
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.
Why is it safe to transfuse blood group O to a patient?
Red blood cells of different groups have different molecules on the surface of their cells these are called antigens. People with blood type A will reject B type blood as they have different antigens on the surface of their cells, these differences are detected by antibodies. Blood type O has none of these antigens and so isn't rejected/detected by the antibodies.
