When type B blood is given to a person with type A blood, __________.

  • the B antigen from the donor reacts with anti-A antibody in the recipient

  • the B antigen from the donor reacts with anti-B antibody in the recipient

  • the A antigen from the donor reacts with anti-A antibody in the recipient

  • the B antigen from the recipient reacts with anti-B antibody in the donor

Solutions

Expert Solution

B. The B antigen from donor reacts with anti-B antibody in recipient

  • There are two types of major antigen on RBC they determine blood type.
  • Type A has Antigen A and type B blood has Antigen B. Type AB has both antigen A and B. Type O doesn't have any antigen.
  • Antibodies attack antigen and destroy it. They are formed in response to foregin antigen
  • Therefore Type A has Anti B antibody (because they lack B antigen). Similarly Type B has anti A antibody, type AB doesn't have any antibody and type O has both Anti A and Anti B antibody.
  • Blood transfusion is successful only if the recipient doesn't have antibodies against donor blood antigen.
  • Therefore when type B blood having B antigen is infused to Type A blood then Anti B antibodies in recipient react with type B blood.
