LIKEWISE THERE ARE THREE IMPORTANT ANTIBODY TYPES PRODUCED AGAINST EACH OF THE THREE ANTIGENS
ANTIBODIES ANTI - A ANTI - B ANTI - RH
TYPE A- BLOOD • CONTAINS A ANTIGEN • MAKES ANTIBODIES AGAINST B BLOOD – ANTI-B & RH FACTOR
TYPE B+ BLOOD • MAKES B ANTIGEN • MAKES RH ANTIGEN • MAKES ANTIBODIES AGAINST A BLOOD – ANTI -A
TYPE AB- BLOOD • CONTAINS BOTH A AND B ANTIGENS • MAKES NEITHER ANTI-A OR ANTI-B BOTH ARE SELF PROTEINS • MAKES ANTI –RH ANTIBODIES
TYPE O- BLOOD • CONTAINS NEITHER A NOR B NOR RH ANTIGENS • MAKES ANTI-A AND ANTI-B AND ANTI –RH ANTIBODIES
TYPE A+ BLOOD • CAN GIVE BLOOD TO …… • CAN RECEIVE BLOOD FROM….
