What would happen if type A blood were transfused into the bloodstream of someone with type B blood?
People with type A blood have A antigens on their blood cells and anti-B antibodies floating throughout their blood. People with type B blood however have B antigens and anti-A antibodies. When the type A person receives a transfusion from the type B person, the anti-B antibodies will attack the incoming B antigen laced blood cells, marking it for removal by the rest of the immune system.
