No, the only people who should receive type O FFP are people with type O blood. If someone (e.g., the donor) has type O- blood, that means that their red blood cells (RBCs) do not express the A/B/D antigens, which means that their plasma willcontain antibodies against those antigens. A B+ recipient has RBCs which express the B and D antigens, so if that person is given FFP from an O- donor, an incompatibility reaction will result.

The thing to remember is that ABO typing is based on the RBC antigens, whereas antibodies are present (or not) in the plasma. So inasmuch as O- is the "universal donor", that's with respect to "PRBCs" (packed red blood cells, the form in which blood transfusions are given; whole-blood transfusion is not performed anymore). By the same token, AB+ is the universal recipient for RBCs. But the situation for FFP is exactly reversed: type AB+ is the universal donor for FFP, and O- is the universal recipient.

If one parent is O pos and one is A pos can child be B neg?

No, it is not possible for a child to have B negative blood type if one parent is O positive and the other is A positive. Blood type inheritance follows specific rules, and in this case, the child would inherit either O or A positive blood type.


Can blood type O pos and B neg make B pos?

No, blood types O positive (O+) and B negative (B-) cannot produce a B positive (B+) offspring. Blood type O carries only the O antigen, while blood type B carries the B antigen. To have a B+ blood type, one would need to inherit the B antigen from both parents.


If your father is type o positive and your mother is type ab negative what is the possible blood type of a 6th child?

These are the possibilities: A neg or A pos B neg or B pos The father will always give an 0 to the child, which is infact zero. The mother will give an A or a B. An A and 0 gives A An B and 0 gives B The rhesus factor can be positive or negative.


Can a B positive mother and a AB positive father produce a O negative child?

We are looking for the possible blood types of a MOTHER.Available information:Father type O pos -- can only be OO with Rh (++) or (+-)Genes: O, (+), (-)Baby type O neg -- can only be OO with Rh (--)Baby receives one gene from each parent: Mother must contribute an O and Rh (-)Blood type AO with Rh pos (+-) or neg (--)Blood type BO with Rh pos (+-) or neg (--)Blood type OO with Rh pos (+-) or neg (--)With the father contributing an O and (-) gene, the mother mus contribute the other O and (-); therefore the mother can be Type A pos/neg, Type B pos/neg or Type O pos/neg, with Type O neg being the best case of getting the O neg baby.


Can o positive and b positive create b negative?

No, O positive and B positive parents cannot have a B negative child. A child with B negative blood type must inherit a B allele from both parents, which is not possible in this scenario as the O positive parent does not carry the B allele.

Is b-pos be the father to a-pos?

Yes it is possible if the mother is A positive or A negative.


What blood type can donate to AB negitive?

B Neg donors can donate to B Pos or B Neg patients.


Can parents with B positive blood type have a child with B negative blood type?

We are looking for the possible blood types of a baby.Parental information:Mother type B pos -- can be BB or BO with Rh (++) or (+-)Father type B pos -- can be BB or BO with Rh (++) or (+-)Baby receives one gene from each parent: Baby is type BB (++)/(+-) = Type B posBaby is type BB (--) = Type B negBaby is type BO (++)/(+-) = Type B posBaby is type BO (--) = Type B negBaby is type OO (++)/(+-) = Type O posBaby is type OO (--) = Type O negYES. These parents can have a child that is Type B negative.


If a mother is A pos can her child be B neg?

Yes, this will depend on the father blood type, so for a child to be B-, the father could be either B or AB negative or positive.


What types can o plus donate to?

The O pos type can be called a universal donor. They can donate to any type that is also positive. Thus, O pos can donate to O pos, A pos, B pos, and AB pos. O pos should not be used in Rh negative patients in order to prevent the development of anti-D antibodies unless in an emergency and no other type is available.


O pos and b pos parents have a a neg child?

No. Two Rh positive parents can have an Rh negative child. A parent with blood type O lacks the A antigen; a parent with blood type B also lacks the A antigen; therefore they cannot have a child together with blood type A.

Both parents are o pos you are b negative?

The chances of their being your parents are negligible.


Can mother with B negative blood and father with O positive blood have a baby with AB negative blood type?

We are looking for the possible blood types of a baby.Parental information:Mother type B neg -- can be BB or BO and only Rh (--)Father type O pos -- can only be OO with Rh (+-) or (--)Baby recieves one gene from each parent: Baby is type BO Rh (+-) = B posBaby is type BO Rh (--) = B negBaby is type OO Rh (+-) = O posBaby is type OO Rh (--) = O negNOTE: There is NO A gene for either parent. Generally the baby will be either Type B pos/neg or Type O pos/neg.HOWEVER: There is more to ABO blood typing that just the ABO gene.There is also an inhibitory gene that will change any genotype into the phenotype O.Therefore a person with genetically AB blood can be tested as having Type O.A baby from these parents could be AB neg IFIf one Type O parent has the inhibitory gene affecting his AA, AO or AB type, then the baby can be AB negative.
