Antigens, by definition, cause the body to produce antibodies which act against them. You inherit certain antigens which are on your red blood cells. Sometimes these antigens are absent from your RBC. If you are type B, you have B antigens. Type A has A antigens, AB has AB antigens and type O has no antigens.
If you are type AB, you can receive AB blood from some one else.
What else can I help you with?
What are The blood proteins A and B?
The blood proteins A and B are antigens found on the surface of red blood cells that determine blood type. Individuals with blood type A have A antigens, while individuals with blood type B have B antigens. Blood type AB individuals have both A and B antigens.
Does a person with type O blood have A or B antigens on the red blood cell?
A person with type O blood does not have A or B antigens on their red blood cells. Type O blood has neither A nor B antigens present on the surface of the red blood cells.
Antigens on red blood cells?
Type A blood has the A antigen and the Antibody anti- B Type B blood has the B antigen and the Antibody anti-a Type AB has antigens AB Type O blood has no antigens, and both the antibodies anti-a and anti-b AB is the universal receiver and O is the universal donor.
How might a technique to remove A and B antigens from red blood cells be used to increase the supply of donated blood?
That would be extremely useful if it can be developed. There are four types of blood: AB, A, B, and O. They are classifed by the antigens that they have. Type O blood has no antigens but it does have anti-A and anti-B antibodies, so it can only accept type O blood (although since it has no antigens, it can give blood to anyone). Type A blood has A antigens and anti-B antibodies so it can't accept any blood with B antigens in it (such as type B or AB). Type B blood has anti-A antibodies and can't accept A or AB blood. Type AB has A antigens and B antigens so it can't donate to any other blood besides AB (although it can receive any type of blood). If everyone was type O blood, and didn't have any antigens, then every type of blood would be able to receive it because the antibodies wouldn't have any antigens to react with so it would be accepted by anyone.
What kind of anigen does type o blood have?
Type O blood does not have any antigens. This is the reason for O blood's universal donnor status. Since no antigens (proteins or polysaccharides) are present, they will no react negatively to any antibodies that other blood types possess.
Does Type B blood have A antigens?
No, type B blood does not have A antigens. Type B blood has B antigens.
What are the A B AB and O blood groups distinguished by?
The ABO blood group system classifies blood based on the presence or absence of certain antigens on the surface of red blood cells. Type A blood has A antigens, type B blood has B antigens, type AB blood has both A and B antigens, and type O blood has neither A nor B antigens.
What traits does the blood type A have different then blood type B?
blood type A has type A antigens. blood type B has type B antigens.
What are The blood proteins A and B?
The blood proteins A and B are antigens found on the surface of red blood cells that determine blood type. Individuals with blood type A have A antigens, while individuals with blood type B have B antigens. Blood type AB individuals have both A and B antigens.
How many types of antigens on the erythrocytes?
There are two main types of antigens on erythrocytes - ABO antigens and Rh antigens. ABO antigens include A and B antigens while Rh antigens include RhD antigen. These antigens play a crucial role in determining blood type compatibility for blood transfusions.
What type of agglutinogens does type A blood have?
Type A blood has A antigens.
What type of marker is on type b blood?
Type B blood has B antigens on the surface of its red blood cells. In addition to these B antigens, type B blood also contains A antibodies in the plasma, which can react against A antigens found in type A blood. This combination of antigens and antibodies is crucial for blood transfusions and compatibility.
What is the blood type that contains antigens a and b?
The blood type that contains antigens A and B is AB. This blood type has both A and B antigens on the surface of its red blood cells.
Which blood type has 2 different antigens on the surface of the red blood cell?
Blood type AB has both A and B antigens.
Type B whole blood contains antigens and?
Type B whole blood contains antigens on the surface of red blood cells that correspond to the B blood type. These antigens can provoke an immune response if transfused into a person with a different blood type.
I have blood type A, and I know that somehow type A is different from the other types, but I would like to know what they are.?
Blood type A differs from other blood types in terms of the antigens present on the surface of red blood cells. Blood type A has A antigens, blood type B has B antigens, blood type AB has both A and B antigens, and blood type O has neither A nor B antigens. This difference is important for blood transfusions and compatibility.
Which antibody and antigen combination match each blood type?
The blood type notation A Rh- indicates which antigens and antibodies are present in the blood. A indicates there are A antigens. Rh+ indicates there are Rh antigens. B antibodies. If there are A and Rh antigens but no B antigens, the antibodies in the blood plasma are B antibodies.
