Type A, Rh negative red cells can be, and are frequently, transfused to AB, rh negative recipients. Type A, Rh negative whole blood, however, cannot be given to an AB, Rh negative recipient as anti-B antibodies present in the unit could cause an acute, hemolytic transfusion reaction. Whole blood transfusions are rarely used in modern transfusion medicine.
