The type B blood has an antigen on the red cells identifying them as B type cells. The type A blood of the recipient contains antibodies that bind to B type antigens. These antibodies will cause the red cells of the blood in the transfusion to stick together forming solid lumps in the blood, preventing it from flowing.

FIND OUT YOUR BLOOD TYPE NOW! very important

Negative blood doesn't have the RH factor, ( a blood "covering" originally found in Rhesus Monkeys)....Only positive type people have RH positive blood. It will kill a negative blood type person to receive positive blood type blood.

Negative blood types don't have the coating on our blood. When we get pregnant, there are precautions that need to be taken to have healthy children. For more info contact me at the related link below.

blood type O can give blood to anyone.

they are the universal donor.

they do not have any antigens on them so they do not react badly with any type of blood.

type A blood, has type A antigens, therefore when put into a person with type O blood the blood of the person agglutinates (clumps together) and can cause serious damage to the person.

No, because the RH factor (or the D antigen) on the red blood cells that gives you the + or - blood type is genetically inherited. This means that if neither parent has the D antigen they cant pass it onto their children.

Negative blood types are less common then positive. Negative blood types may affect birth, since 90% of babies are born with positive blood types. It may affect the antigens.

Do you have to replace blood if you receive a blood transfusion?

If you receive a blood transfusion, you are under no obligation to "return" (or "donate") any blood to back the blood bank. This is true both before and after receiving a blood transfusion - i.e you do not have to have donated blood previously, before you can have a transfusion. (At least, this is how it works in the UK). Nice to know, really.


Can type A receive type AB blood?

No, you can only receive your blood type when you get a blood transfusion.
