Why during transfusion blood type O does not cause reaction while it contains Anti - A and Anti - B antibodies?

Blood Type 'O': Red Blood cells have neither A-antigen, nor B-antigen but generates both Anti-A and Anti-B antibodies - Blood Type 'A': Red blood cells have the A-antigen which generates the Anti-B antibodies Blood Type 'B': Red blood cells have the B-antigen and generate Anti-A antibodies The lack of antigen explains why Type "O" can safely donate to Type "A" and Type "B". The Anti-A and Anti-B antibodies generated by Type "O" is the reason "O" cannot receive donations from Type "A" or Type "B".


What is The Root Word Of Antagonist?

The root word of antagonist is not anti (which is the prefix of the word) the root comes from agnonize (like one who antiagonizes someone else). The suffix then would be ist meaning one who antagonizes. Hope that helps. I didn't want you to have the wrong answer. My understanding is different: the word is the antonym of "Protagonist" thus the root words are from the Greek "AGONISTE" (ACTOR) and means the opponent to the protagonist who is the "PROTOS" (PRINCIPLE) + "AGONISTE" (ACTOR). Therefore it would seem that the root of the word does include "ANTI".
