Question

Key to Compatibilities: Determine the kind of antibodies present in the recipient's blood plasma. RBC from compatible donors will not have the surface antigens that the recipients Example #1. The recipient is Type A+ he/she has Anti-B antibodies. Compatible donors cannot have the B antigen. So, of they lack the B antigen. B+. B' AB+, and AB-are all incompat the 6 possibleblood types, A+, A, O+, and O-are all compatible because tible because they have the B antigen. Example #2. The reci pient is Type O+, he/she has Anti-A and Anti-B antibodies. So, of the 8 AB+, and AB- are all incompatible because they have either the A antigen, the B antigen, or both. o+ and O-are compatible because they lack the A and B antigens. At, Ar.

Explanation / Answer

1. 'A' antigen is present on the surface of RBC and antibody B is present in blood plasma having type A group. In type B group, 'B' antigen is present on the surface of RBC and antibody A is present in blood plasma. Neither A nor B antibodies are present in the blood plasma having type AB group. Both A and B antibodies are present in the blood plasma having type O group.

2. The compatible donor for type O group is only O+ and O- . The compatible donors for type A group are O and A. for A+ it is O+ and A+ while for A- it is O- and A-. The compatible donors for the type B group are O and B. for B+ it is O+ and B+ while for B- it is O- and B-. The compatible donors for the type AB group are O, A, B, and AB. for AB+ it is O+, A+, B+, and AB+ while for AB- it is O-, A-, B-, and AB-.

The type AB group is the universal recipient as it can receive blood from all the four blood group types. While the type O group is the universal donor as it can donate blood to all the other blood group types.
