What would happen if you gave a person with Rh- blood a transfusion with Rh+ blood? Absolutely nothing. Their body would make anti-D antibodies. Their antibodies would attack and agglutinate the D antigen on the donor cells. The donor's antibodies would attack the recipient's blood antigens. Why can you NOT give AB+ blood to someone with A+ blood? Because the recipient's anti-A antibodies will attack and agglutinate the A antigens on the donor's cells. You can give AB+ blood to someone with A+ blood. It's a trick question. Because the recipient's anti-B antibodies will attack and agglutinate the B antigens on the donor's cells. Because the recipient's anti-D antibodies will attack and agglutinate the D antigens on the donor's cells. Which blood type/s can you safely give someone with AB+ blood? Select all that apply. A+ A- B+ B- AB+ AB- O+ O- What would happen if you gave a person with Rh- blood a transfusion with Rh+ blood? The donor's antibodies would attack the recipient's blood antigens. Their body would make anti-D antibodies. Absolutely nothing. Their antibodies would attack and agglutinate the D antigen on the donor cells.

explain the role of antigens and antibodies in blood typing. What would happen if a type 'B' person was given a transfusion of type 'A' blood? why? What if they were given a transfusion of type 'O' blood?
