Best Answer

Red blood cells of different groups have different molecules on the surface of their cells these are called antigens. People with blood type A will reject B type blood as they have different antigens on the surface of their cells, these differences are detected by antibodies. Blood type O has none of these antigens and so isn't rejected/detected by the antibodies.

Why it is safe to transfuse blood group O to a patient during emergency?

Blood group O is considered the universal donor because it does not have A or B antigens on red blood cells, making it compatible with all blood types. This reduces the risk of an adverse reaction when transfused to a patient in an emergency situation where time to determine the recipient's blood type is limited. However, it is still important to confirm the patient's blood type when possible to ensure the safest transfusion.
