In ABO blood typing, a person’s blood that was type B would:
|
|
clump with antibody-B
|
|
|
clump with antibody-A
|
|
|
clump with antibody-O
|
|
|
never clump any antibody
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A person with Type B blood will have anti-A antibodies in his or her plasma. If the plasma is mixed with Type A blood, the cells will agglutinate, or clump together, from the reaction of the Type A antigens and the anti-A antibodies.
Detailed explanation-2: -However, if B type blood is injected into their systems, anti-B antibodies in their plasma will recognize it as alien and burst or agglutinate the introduced red cells in order to cleanse the blood of alien protein. Individuals with type O blood do not produce ABO antigens.
