    There are four main blood types - A, B, AB, and O - which are determined by the presence or absence of proteins (antigens) on red blood cells. Type A has antigen A, type B has antigen B, type AB has both antigens, and type O has neither antigen. Each blood type also contains corresponding antibodies - types A and B contain antibodies to the antigen they do not possess, type AB contains no antibodies, and type O contains antibodies to both A and B antigens. Type O blood can be transfused to all other types since it lacks antigens, while type AB blood can receive transfusions from all types as it lacks antibodies.

    Blood Types

    There are four different types of blood


    A,

    B, AB, O

    They are determined by the protein (antigen) found on the RBC Type A, has protein (antigen) A on the RBC Type B, has protein (antigen) B on the RBC Type AB, has both protein (antigen) A and B on the RBC Type O, has neither protein (antigen) on the RBC

    Type

    A would have B agglutinins (antibody) in the plasma. Type B would have A agglutinins (antibody) in the plasma. Type AB would not have agglutinins (antibody) in the plasma. Type O would have A and B agglutinins (antibody) in the plasma.

    Type O is the universal donor, since it does not have antigens (proteins) on the surface of the RBCs
    Type AB is the universal recipient, since it does not have agglutinins (antibody) in its plasma.
