Your blood type is determined by antibodies (both/either A and B), and Antigens present (both/either A and B) in your Red Blood Cells. O blood types have both A and B antibodies, and neither A or B antigens. If you are O+ it means you can give blood to anyone. If you are O- it means you can recieve any blood type.

Which antibody and antigen combination match each blood type?
The blood type notation A Rh- indicates which antigens and antibodies are present in the blood. A indicates there are A antigens. Rh+ indicates there are Rh antigens. B antibodies. If there are A and Rh antigens but no B antigens, the antibodies in the blood plasma are B antibodies.
Does Type B blood have A antigens?
No, type B blood does not have A antigens. Type B blood has B antigens.
Why does a patient's body accept the blood by transfusion despite the fact that the immune system tends to reject foreign objects?
To learn the answer of the above question first we have to know about the blood characteristics.There are four major types of blood A, B, AB, and 0. The blood types are determined by proteins called antigens. This antigen is found on the surface of the Red Blood Cell (RBC). Basically there are two antigens, A and B. If you have the A antigen on the RBC, then you have type A blood. When B antigen is present, you have type B blood. When both A and B antigens are present, you have type AB blood. When either are present, you have type O blood. When an antigen is resent on the RBC, then the opposite antibody is present in the plasma. For instance, type A blood has anti-type-B antibodies. Type B blood has anti-type-A antibodies. Type AB blood has no antibodies in the plasma, and type O blood has both anti-type-A and anti-type-B antibodies in the plasma. These antibodies are not present at birth but are formed spontaneously during infancy and last throughout life. In addition to the ABO blood group system, there is an Rh blood group system. There are many Rh antigens that can be present on the surface of the RBC. The D antigen is the most common Rh antigen. If the D antigen is present, then that blood is Rh+. If the D antigen is missing, then the blood is Rh-. Blood is transfused to a patient after determining the blood group and matching the characteristics of both. In such case the immune system accepts the foreign object.
A person with type A blood has antibodies to?
Type A blood will produce antibodies against B antigens.
Is blood typed based on the proteins fund in the plasma?
Blood type is based on the antigens found on the surface of the red blood cells. It's not based on proteins found in plasma.
Blood type that contains A agglutinogens?
Type A, is this from the Blood Basics Quiz? I hate that thing.
What kind of antibodies does type AB have?
Since that person has anti-B antibodies, then A antigens are present in her red blood cells. Since that person doesnt have anti-A antibodies, then there are no B antigens present, which means the person has A type blood.
A person's ABO blood type is determined by antigens present on the?
gamma globulins
What is the clumping together of red blood cells when unlike incompatible types of blood are mixed is due to antibodies in the plasma and antigens on the?
On the surface of red blood cells Take A type blood, for instance. It has antigens against B type blood contact on its cell surface.
If type O blood is transfused into a person with blood type B what will need to be done to the blood?
Since a patient with Type B blood has B antigens on their RBC's and since Type O blood has both anti-A and anti-B antibodies present in the blood plasma, the donor blood needs to be treated before transfusion. The Type O blood needs to be separated into packed cells and plasma, usually done by centrifuge, and only the packed cells should be used for the transfusion. Remember the anti-B antibodies are present in the Type O blood plasma and could cause serious damage in the system of a patient with Type B blood.
Christine has type b blood and her father has type O blood whit is Christines genotype?
The genotype is either BB or BO. The antigens on the blood cell are B and the antibodies in the blood plasma are A.
What traits does the blood type A have different then blood type B?
blood type A has type A antigens. blood type B has type B antigens.
