Why in type ab blood there is agglutination in anti A serum and anti B serum?

As Blood type O contains Anti-A-Antibodies and Anti-B-Antibodies (not Antigens)
Anti-A-Serum contains Anti-A-Antibodies (which reacts with A antigen not antibody)
Anti-B-Serum contains Anti-B-Antibodies (which reacts with B antigen not antibody)
so antibody in antiserum will not find any antigen in blood-group O to react with
so no Clumping

∙ 11y agoIf you give a patient with A blood type, blood with donor type 0 nothing happens, because there aren't any antigens on the red blood cells of the donor to react with. (thats why its called 0, zero)
The patient does have anti-B antibodies in its plasma, but they wont react, because there aren't any B-antigens on the red blood cells. (antigens react with antibodies and give agglutination)
If you donate A blood to a patient with 0 blood, agglutination will occur, because the anti-A in the blood of the 0 patient will react with the A-antigens on the red blood cells of the donor.
Hope this helps.

What is a blood type chart used for?
Blood charts are used to typically identify what blood type an individual has. The test is simple one; there's an anti-serum used to type the blood. If it clumps with Anti-A serum and not the B serum, you are a type A; if you clump with Anti-B serum and not A serum you are type B, if it clumps to Anti-A and B serums, then you are an AB, if doesn't clump to either Anti-A or B serum you are a type O.
When neither anti-A nor anti-B clots on a blood plate the blood type is?
If there is no agglutination (clotting) at either the Anti-A or Anti-B fields on a test plate, then the blood type will be Type O.
What would happen if type a blood is injected with anti serum blood a?
big butts
Does a person with type B blood agglutinate with a person with type A in the RBC's?
Yes. If you transfuse type B blood into a type A person there will be agglutination because the type A person naturally makes anti-B antibodies. The converse is also true. If you transfuse type A blood into a type B person there will be agglutination because the type B person naturally makes anti-A antibodies.
If your blood clumped with both anti-A and anti-B serawhat would be your ABO blood type?
A person with both A and B antigens is designated as having AB bllod group
Can blood type O accept blood type A without agglutination?
no
What is Reverse blood typing?
reverse blood typing is one of the experiment at blood banking subject. the point in here is when you are type A the agglutination was formed at B cell suspension because of the anti body is not the same the anti body of B cell will not compatible at anti body of type a ...
When neither anti- a sera nor anti-b sera clot on a blood plate with donor blood the blood type is?
If neither anti-A nor anti-B sera clot with donor blood, the blood type is O. The blood does not have the antigens that will close clotting with the antibodies in the serum.
Why does not clumping occurs when blood group 'a' is transfused in 'ab' blood group?
Packed red blood cells type A do not contian enough Anti-B antibody to cause a reaction in AB type people. The plasma (liquid portion of blood) contains the antibodies. This is mostly removed when blood products are processed in a blood bank. Antibodies are what causes red blood cells to agglutinate (clump)
What is a serum enzymes?
Serum enzymes are any type of enzymes that are found in the blood.
What is a serum that will agglutinate in the presence of type B blood?
typa A blood
Which antibodies will be in the serum of a person with blood type BRh plus?
Just looking at ABO/Rh antibodies, you are looking at anti-A present in a B pos person.
