AB blood type has both A and B antigens on the surface of red blood cells because individuals with this blood type inherit one A allele from one parent and one B allele from the other. This combination results in the expression of both antigens, allowing for a unique blood type that lacks the antibodies against either A or B antigens. Consequently, AB blood type can receive blood from any ABO type, making it a universal recipient.

What is the blood type that contains antigens a and b?
The blood type that contains antigens A and B is AB. This blood type has both A and B antigens on the surface of its red blood cells.
What are the A B AB and O blood groups distinguished by?
The ABO blood group system classifies blood based on the presence or absence of certain antigens on the surface of red blood cells. Type A blood has A antigens, type B blood has B antigens, type AB blood has both A and B antigens, and type O blood has neither A nor B antigens.
What are examples of four different blood types?
The 4 blood types are:A - type A blood has antigen A and antibody anti-BB - type B blood has antigen B and antibody anti-AAB - blood type AB has both antigens A and B and has no antibodiesO - Type O blood has no antigens but has both antibodies anti-A and anti-B
Does AB blood have antigens present in it?
Yes, AB blood has both A and B antigens present on the surface of red blood cells.
Does anybody know what are the 4 blood types ?
Te four basic blood types are O, A, B and AB. They are named for the types of antigens they carry. O has no antigens, A has A antigens, B has B antigens and AB carries both.
What does it mean to have an ab blood type?
Blood can either be A, B, AB or O.This is differentiated by the antigen proteins on the cell. A has a antigens, b has b antigens, o has none, and AB has a and b antigens. You body also makes antibodies against what it doesn't have. So in your case, you have both and therefore dont create a or b antibodies. This makes you a universal acceptor. However, you can only donate to other AB people because if you give you blood to an A person, there body will attack the B antigens on your blood and same goes for B people.
Does type AB blood contains agglutinate A and B?
If the blood type is AB then the agglutinin would be O because agglutinin is what we do not have. Since the person has AB type blood, he/she does not have O type blood.
What kind of antibodies does type AB have?
Since that person has anti-B antibodies, then A antigens are present in her red blood cells. Since that person doesnt have anti-A antibodies, then there are no B antigens present, which means the person has A type blood.
What antigens are expressed if a person is blood type AB negative?
My daughter is AB negative , I am B positive and her dad it A negative
Why can type AB blood receive A or B donor blood, but type A blood can only receive A or O?
Type AB blood has both A and B antigens on its red blood cells, so it can receive A or B donor blood without the immune system reacting. Type A blood only has A antigens, so it can only receive A or O donor blood to avoid an immune response.
Which blood types in terms of the ABA and Rh antigens can be donated to somebody with type AB blood?
B+ here is a guide for you: type A - A antigens B antibodies; type B - B antigens A antibodies; Type AB - A&B antigens and no antibodies; type O - no antigens and A&B antibodies. for the rh you just have to add if it is + or -.
What are The blood proteins A and B?
The blood proteins A and B are antigens found on the surface of red blood cells that determine blood type. Individuals with blood type A have A antigens, while individuals with blood type B have B antigens. Blood type AB individuals have both A and B antigens.
