In addition to type A, B, and O, there is type AB. This blood type is the rarest of the four.
If your ABO blood type is AB, you could potentially give blood to individuals with blood types A, B, AB, and O, as long as there are no other significant blood type incompatibilities. The AB blood type is known as the universal plasma donor because it lacks ABO antibodies in the plasma.
A
Ia Ib
In the ABO system, it is O blood type that contains no surface antigens.
ABO and Rh
The ABO blood types are controlled by specific alleles of the ABO gene. These alleles determine the presence or absence of antigens on the surface of red blood cells, which in turn determines an individual's blood type (A, B, AB, or O).
ABO
An individual with type O blood can theoretically donate blood to recipients of all ABO types. This is because type O blood lacks A and B antigens on the surface of red blood cells, making it universally acceptable without triggering an immune response in recipients with A, B, AB, or O blood types. As a result, type O is often referred to as the universal donor.
Type A, is this from the Blood Basics Quiz? I hate that thing.
it would be type AB.
Yes, no worry about ABO.
