Antibodies can lead to the destruction of red blood cells (RBCs) through a process known as opsonization and complement activation. When antibodies bind to antigens on the surface of RBCs, they mark these cells for destruction. This binding can activate the complement system, leading to the formation of membrane attack complexes that create pores in the RBC membrane, causing lysis. Additionally, phagocytic cells, like macrophages, can recognize and engulf the antibody-coated RBCs, ultimately leading to their removal from circulation.
What else can I help you with?
Does your body is protected from disease by red blood cells?
no. white blood cells and antibodies
What happens if anti-B antibodies are mixed with group B red cells?
If anti-B antibodies (from someone who is blood type A or AB) are mixed with group B red cells, agglutination or clumping of red cells will occur due to a reaction between the antibodies and the B antigen on the red cells. This can lead to transfusion reactions if incompatible blood is transfused, causing harm to the recipient.
Do red blood cells kill bacteria?
No, typically red blood cells are good for the body. Antibiotics kill bacteria by disabling specific bacterial enzymes.Edit: In rare cases (called type II hypersensitivity reactions), antibiotics can react with and attach to proteins on the surface of your cells (including red blood cells). ?Your body may form antibodies to these modified proteins, and the antibodies may cause your red blood cells to become destroyed by your own immune system (since antibodies usually mark pathogens). ?People who say they are allergic to penicillin or whatever suffer from this reaction.
When a patient has autoimmune hemolyic anemia antibodies destroy what?
Red blood cells
What are blood groups and what is their importance?
Blood type is determined by antibodies and antigens present in red blood cells antibodies A and B for blood group A and B, when there's no antibodies it is group AB, when both antibodies A and B is present then it is group O
How do the functions of red blood cells and white blood cellsdiffer?
Red blood cells contain haemoglobin, and they carry oxygen around the body, and also help to remove carbon dioxide from the body. White blood cells kill off infections and viruses in the body and provide antibodies. They also help to clot blood.ones wavy the others straight
Do Different blood types can result from different antibodies present on the membranes of red blood cells?
True
A person with type A blood has antibodies to?
Type A blood will produce antibodies against B antigens.

What are the 4 kinds of blood?
According to the AB0 blood group system there are four different kinds of blood groups: A, B, AB or 0 (null). Blood group A If you belong to the blood group A, you have A antigens on the surface of your red blood cells and B antibodies in your blood plasma. Blood group B If you belong to the blood group B, you have B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells and A antibodies in your blood plasma. Blood group AB If you belong to the blood group AB, you have both A and B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells and no A or B antibodies at all in your blood plasma. Blood group 0 If you belong to the blood group 0 (null), you have neither A or B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells but you have both A and B antibodies in your blood plasma.
What would happen if you were to inject a person with A blood type with B blood type?
Massive blood clotting due to the person's anti-B antibodies binding to the donated red blood cells and the donated blood's anti-A antibodies binding to the person's red blood cells. This often results in death.
What are different blood vessels and their functions?
red blood cells: go around your body white blood cells: are antibodies that destroy bacteria and microbes in your body
