no
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.
what happens when blood type AB is mixed with blood type A or B?
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.
People having the blood group AB positive are called 'universal acceptor' because both anti-A and anti-B antibodies, as well as anti-D antibodies are absent in there blood circulation. Hence, these people generally face no chances of agglutination when transfused with blood of whatever blood group.
no bcuz all the blood types accept it.that is why is called universal donor.
Agglutination
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.
what happens when blood type AB is mixed with blood type A or B?
Yes. It's the negative blood types that can't accept blood from the positives.

agglutination occurs depending on what your blood type group deems as an invader. one blood type group may deem wheat lectins as harmfull and will cause the blood to agglutinate in order to protect / repair.... another will not. simply put " one mans food is another mans poison "
You can, as far as I know, only accept blood of anyone with the same blood type.
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.
Blood group O is the universal donor, ie it can be donated to people with type A, B or AB (and O of course) blood with minimal agglutination (except if the rhesus factor is not compatible with the recipient's). This is due to the absence of antigen A and B on the red blood cells of people with blood type O. Therefore when a person having type A blood receives type O blood, there wouldn't be any agglutination reaction between the antibody A present in type A blood (commonly known as anti-A) with the blood cells from the person with type O blood.
Blood type is the composition of your blood. Every blood type is different. In order for your body to accept blood in a transfusion, you must receive the blood that is compatible with you.
Rh is an antigen. If you have the antigen, your blood type is A+, B+, AB+, or O+. If you don't have the antigen, your blood type is A-, B-, AB-, or O-. People WITH the Rh antigen, can receive from/give to people with Rh+ or Rh-. People WITHOUT the Rh antigen, can ONLY receive from/give to people with Rh- blood. (meaning people without the antigen) If Rh- and Rh+ blood comes in contact, the Rh- will produce antibodies towards Rh+, and at the second contact with the blood, will cause agglutination.
Pretransfusion blood typing and antibody screening of the patient's blood, followed by a complete crossmatch with type compatable donor blood products will prevent acute transfusion reactions.
