Best Answer

It is one of the most important human blood group systems. The system is based in the presence or absence of antigens A and B on the surface of red blood cells and antibodies against these in blood serum. A person whose blood contains either or both these antibodies cannot receive a transfusion of blood containing the corresponding antigens as this would cause the red cells to clump. People of blood group O are described as universal donors as they can give blood to those of any of the other groups.
