No because the person with type O has antibodies against the A antigens that are present of the red blood cells of people with type A blood. This means that the blood would clot in the arteries and cause blockaged possible resulting in death.

I assume you are meaning in a transfusion. The ideal blood should be a perfect match. A positive should get A positive. In an emergency an A positive can receive any blood that has no B genotype. O+/-, A+/-,but NO B or AB.


If type O blood is transfused into a person with blood type B what will need to be done to the blood?

Since a patient with Type B blood has B antigens on their RBC's and since Type O blood has both anti-A and anti-B antibodies present in the blood plasma, the donor blood needs to be treated before transfusion. The Type O blood needs to be separated into packed cells and plasma, usually done by centrifuge, and only the packed cells should be used for the transfusion. Remember the anti-B antibodies are present in the Type O blood plasma and could cause serious damage in the system of a patient with Type B blood.
