Why during transfusion blood type O does not cause reaction while it contains Anti - A and Anti - B antibodies?
Blood Type 'O': Red Blood cells have neither A-antigen, nor B-antigen but generates both Anti-A and Anti-B antibodies - Blood Type 'A': Red blood cells have the A-antigen which generates the Anti-B antibodies Blood Type 'B': Red blood cells have the B-antigen and generate Anti-A antibodies The lack of antigen explains why Type "O" can safely donate to Type "A" and Type "B". The Anti-A and Anti-B antibodies generated by Type "O" is the reason "O" cannot receive donations from Type "A" or Type "B".
What are the antibodies to o- blood type?
both anti a and anti b antibodies, that's why they are the universal donar Group O type there is a presence of antibody A and antibody B and the red cells has no antigen A and antigen B and in terms of blood component (Packed red cells) it can be considered as safe "O"(universal ) because of the absence of ag. A and ag B.
Can a person of ab-ve blood group accept o-ve blood?
No. Type O blood has anti-A and anti-B antibodies.
What is the difference between blood type O and O positive?
Blood Type O has no Anti Rh factors. O+ blood is positive for Rh Antibodies.
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.
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
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
How is blood type o a universal doner?
There are 4 blood types (A, AB, B, and O) excluding the pos or neg aspect, which are all based on the Antigens on the surface of the Red Blood Cells (RBCs). These antigens are what Antiboies detect and bind to and, because antibodies each bind two antigens, they join up all the cells making massive structures that cannot flow through the blood and cause clots. So for example the A antigen will be detected by the anti-A antibody and cause the clott to be forlmed. For this reason we do not have in our systems the antibodies capable of dececting our own antigens, so if you have A antigens (type A blood) you will have only anti-B antibodies and vice versa. If you have both A and B antigens (AB blood) you will have neither anti-A nor ant-B antibodies. If you have no antigens (type O blood) you will have both the anti-A and anti-B antibodies. Recieving donor blood which as antigens to which your own antibodies will be atracted will mean that the blood you receive is clotted up. For exampl is a type A (has anti-B antibodies) receives type B blood (has B antigens) then the antibodies will bind the donor cells. However if a type AB (no antibodies) receives any sort of donor blood it will accept it freely as there are no antibodies tobind any antigens. This is why AB type is known as the Universal Reciever, as it can receive blood from any blood type donor. So if a type O (with both antibodies) receives A type or B type or AB type donor blood then it has antibodies that will bind any of them causing a clot. However O type blood also has no antigens on it RBCs so no matter what antibodies are present the cells will not be bound. This means tha O type donor blood can be put into any resipient without feer the recipients antibodies will bind the cells, and thus O type blood is known as the Universal Donor.
Is blood Type A and blood Type O the same?
NO, Blood Types A & O are not the same - here's a quick snapshot why:Blood Type A:Genetically can be AA or AOCell has the A antigen with anti-B antibody in the plasmaBlood Type O: Genetically can only be OOCell has no antigen, but plasma carries the anti-A and anti-B antibodies
If a person has blood type A he or she cannot receive a blood transfusion from a person with blood type O?
It depends on what you mean by "blood". If you mean Red Blood Cells, it is due to somthing called antigens. Type O has IgM anti-A antibodies and anti-B antibodies in blood serum, and this would "attack" blood that had A or B antibodies. Since AB has both, it cannot donate to O, and O can only receive O. With regards to Blood Plasma however, AB can donate to any group, including O.
Antigens on red blood cells?
Type A blood has the A antigen and the Antibody anti- B Type B blood has the B antigen and the Antibody anti-a Type AB has antigens AB Type O blood has no antigens, and both the antibodies anti-a and anti-b AB is the universal receiver and O is the universal donor.
Which blood types in terms of the ABA and Rh antigens can be donated to somebody with type AB blood?
B+ here is a guide for you: type A - A antigens B antibodies; type B - B antigens A antibodies; Type AB - A&B antigens and no antibodies; type O - no antigens and A&B antibodies. for the rh you just have to add if it is + or -.
