With a Rh plus mother and a Rh- fetus will either develop antibodies against Rh antigens?

no
when Rh negative blood from the fetus interacts with Rh+ blood of the mother there will be no antibodies produced due to absence of antigen on the Rh- blood cells
and when Rh positive is mixed with Rh negative blood of fetus no response is produced due to the fact that the fetus has an underdeveloped immune system

What is the chemical makeup of Type O blood?
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.
Which antigens are present in your plasma if you have type O blood?
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.
What does it mean to have an ab blood type?
Blood can either be A, B, AB or O.This is differentiated by the antigen proteins on the cell. A has a antigens, b has b antigens, o has none, and AB has a and b antigens. You body also makes antibodies against what it doesn't have. So in your case, you have both and therefore dont create a or b antibodies. This makes you a universal acceptor. However, you can only donate to other AB people because if you give you blood to an A person, there body will attack the B antigens on your blood and same goes for B people.
What does blood type mean?
When an individual has type AB blood, it means the surface of their blood cells contain both A and B antigenic markers. A person with AB blood does not produce antibodies against either of these markers, thus their body does not mount an immune response against their own blood cells. A and B are two distinct antigenic markers/targets that antibodies can attack. Humans can have either A, B, both AB or neither A or B antigens. Your blood type designates the antigen your cells display. Since your body tolerates the type of blood you have, your body will not produce antibodies against your own blood type (otherwise you would be dead as your immune system would mount an attack on your own blood). However, your body will produce antibodies against the other antigenic markers that you do NOT normally exhibit. For example, a type B individual (who produces anti-A antibodies because they are not supposed to have type A blood cells in their body) cannot accept type A blood, otherwise their anti-A antibodies would attack the blood cells leading to immunorejection. An individual with type O blood has neither A or B antigens on the surface of their blood cells and thus can donate this blood to any other individual, since the blood will not be attacked by antibodies that target either A or B antigens. O is thus the universal donor, while AB is the opposite and is the universal acceptor as it tolerates both A and B antigens. Your body produces antibodies against anything it intends to attack, such as viruses, bacteria, and other foreign particles. The agent your body produces that does the attacking is called an antiBODY. The thing that gets attacked by an antibody is an antiGEN.
Which blood type carries both a and b antigens but either the antibody a or b?
Group AB carries both A and B antigens and NO antibodies to A or B antigen. If you have a group AB person with an anti-A or anti-B, then you are looking a person who is a weaker subgroup of A or B.
What is the ABO system?
It is one of the most important human blood group systems. The system is based in the presence or absence of antigens A and B on the surface of red blood cells and antibodies against these in blood serum. A person whose blood contains either or both these antibodies cannot receive a transfusion of blood containing the corresponding antigens as this would cause the red cells to clump. People of blood group O are described as universal donors as they can give blood to those of any of the other groups.
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.
Is O blood type universal?
Type O blood is considered to be the universal blood type. This is because it does not have either A or B antigens on the red cells. It does however contain the antibodies for each one in the plasma.
What does diagnosis of yellow fever entail?
the examination of blood by various techniques in order to demonstrate either yellow fever viral antigens (the part of the virus that stimulates the patient's immune system to respond) or specific antibodies
Does o blood type have a antigens?
Has no antigen in many textbooks it will state "no A-antigen and no B-antigen"(which imply the possibility of some other antigen) and some will even say, "no antigen" (which is true; antigens are things that attach to antigen binding sites, thus, if it does not fit any antigen binding sites, it is technically not a antigen but merely a "enzyme/protein") but this is just to reduce unnecessary and irrelevant information; they are only concerned about A-antibody, B-antibody, A-antigen, and B-antigen. Nonetheless, know that there are in fact antigens on o blood cells, they are just inactive. My guess is, N acetyl glactosamine on A antigen and Galactose on B antigens are Epitopes (: a small specific regions on antigens that are bound by the antigen receptors on lymphocytes and by secreted antibodies.) Antigens without epitopes will not be detected by antigen binding sites.
Does a person with type O blood have no agglutinations?
Blood group O (or blood group zero in some countries) individuals do not have either A or B antigens on the surface of their RBCs, but their blood serum contains IgM anti-A antibodies and anti-B antibodies against the A and B blood group antigens. Therefore, a group O individual can receive blood only from a group O individual, but can donate blood to individuals of any ABO blood group (ie A, B, O or AB). If anyone needs a blood transfusion in a dire emergency, and if the time taken to process the recipient's blood would cause a detrimental delay, O Negative blood can be issued.
Is there any problem for child if father have O Positive Blood Group and mother have AB Positive?
Generally the child will be fine, although rare reactions can occur. The blood type shouldn't be a problem at all since the mother is AB - she won't have antibodies against either A or B antigens on the baby's red blood cells. Also, since the mother is Rh+, she won't have antibodies against Rh proteins either.
