Type O blood has antigens for both type A and type B blood cells.
So, the antibodies will begin attacking the transfused blood, resulting in hemolysis of the red blood cells (destruction of blood cells), as well as agglutination.
The person will suffer acute hemolytic shock, and possibly renal failure and/or death.

∙ 13y agoIt depends what you mean by "blood". Whole blood, the product collected directly from a volunteer blood donor, is rarely used in modern transfusion medicine. A more efficient use of this precious resource is the separation of whole blood into components, primarily red cells, platelets, plasma and/or cryoprecipitate. Reds cells, the most transfused blood component, is what the public considers as receiving a"blood transfusion".
Blood types are co-dominant, determined by simple mendelian genetics. Type A donors have a gene that codes for an enzyme that produces the "A" phenotype, Type B, the "B" phenotype, Type AB, both and Type O, neither ( a recessive gene). Humans produce naturally occurring antibodies against A and/or B sugars that are not present on their own red cells. These antibodies may cause immediate destruction of incompatible red cells, resulting in an acute hemolytic transfusion reaction. Clinical symptoms may be seen as fever, shaking chills, increased/decreased blood pressure, chest pain, shortness of breath, renal failure and/or death.
Since type O red cells lack both A or B sugars, they will not elicit a reaction and may be used in most transfusion situations. Additionally, the Rh system, another blood group, must be considered. Approximately 85% of the US population is Rh positive. As such, Type O, Rh+ red cells may be transfused to any Rh+ recipient, and Type O, Rh- may be transfused to all recipients (in general).

∙ 14y agoIt wouldn't be bad because "O" blood can be given to any one. It is also the rarest blood-Type your answer here...

∙ 12y agoThey would reject the blood then get VERY sick

∙ 12y agoNothing. Type O can give to anyone, but can only receive type O back.

∙ 11y agoNothing is wrong because blood type O has A, B and O component.

A person with type B neg blood is injected with type A pos blood from an immunological standpoint. what would happen after the injection?
the blood will coagulate as the body identifies the A+ blood as foreign
What would happen if you were to inject a person with A blood type with B blood type?
Massive blood clotting due to the person's anti-B antibodies binding to the donated red blood cells and the donated blood's anti-A antibodies binding to the person's red blood cells. This often results in death.
What would happen if type A blood was given a person with type O blood?
Type O blood has antigens for both type A and type B blood cells.So, the antibodies will begin attacking the transfused blood, resulting in hemolysis of the red blood cells (destruction of blood cells), as well as agglutination.The person will suffer acute hemolytic shock, and possibly renal failure and/or death.duplicate
What will happen if type B blood was given to a person who has type B blood?
They will be fine because I know someone who has tried it.
A person receives an o allele and an A allele for blood type. what is the individual's blood type?
type A
Can a person with blood type AB donate blood to a person with blood type A explain?
Each blood type has it's identifying proteins, and will reject blood with the wrong proteins. Type A blood is anti-B, type B blood is anti-A, type O blood has both, and type AB blood has neither. Imagine if someone with AB blood tried to donate to someone with A. AB blood has identifying proteins A and B. The type A blood would recognize the B proteins and kill the cells. The same thing would happen with B, which would recognize the A proteins and kill the cells. Type O blood would recognize and reject both the A and B proteins and reject them. However, if someone who is type AB gives to AB people, their blood does not destroy neither protein A nor B, so it would accept it.
What would happen if type a blood is injected with anti serum blood a?
big butts
Why are blood types a and b incompatible?
Blood types A and B are incompatible because a type A person has naturally occurring Anti-B in his blood and a type B person has naturally occurring Anti-A. Thus a type A person can not receive blood from a type B person because the naturally occurring anti-A would destroy the type A person's red cells. The converse is true for a type B person who can not receive type A blood since the Anti-B found in the type A blood would destroy the type B person's red cells.
Is there a way for me to determine what my blood type is on my own?
In order to find out the blood type of a person, he or she would have to go see a doctor and have blood drawn, after the blood has been drawn and further testing is done the person would be able to find out what kind of blood type he or she is.
What blood type can A positive receive?
A person with type A blood can donate blood to a person with type A or type AB. A person with type B blood can donate blood to a person with type B or type AB. A person with type AB blood can donate blood to a person with type AB only. A person with type O blood can donate to anyone. A person with type A blood can receive blood from a person with type A or type O. A person with type B blood can receive blood from a person with type B or type O. A person with type AB blood can receive blood from anyone. A person with type O blood can receive blood from a person with type O. hope this helps, #JC# http://www.fi.edu/learn/heart/blood/types.html
Who can a person with type A blood give to?
A person with type A blood can donate blood to a person with type A or type AB.
What blood type is a person if their blood don't clump in anti a or b?
blood type A
