The type B blood has an antigen on the red cells identifying them as B type cells. The type A blood of the recipient contains antibodies that bind to B type antigens. These antibodies will cause the red cells of the blood in the transfusion to stick together forming solid lumps in the blood, preventing it from flowing.

Do you have to replace blood if you receive a blood transfusion?

If you receive a blood transfusion, you are under no obligation to "return" (or "donate") any blood to back the blood bank. This is true both before and after receiving a blood transfusion - i.e you do not have to have donated blood previously, before you can have a transfusion. (At least, this is how it works in the UK). Nice to know, really.
