Blood Groups - Who the blood is for

Types / Group Of Blood




Types / Group Of Blood 


The groups are based on whether or not you have two specific antigens -- A and B:

● Group A has the A antigen and B antibody.
● Group B has the B antigen and the A antibody.
● Group AB has A and B antigens but neither A nor B antibodies.
● Group O doesn’t have A or B antigens but has both A and B antibodies.

There’s also a third kind of antigen called the Rh factor. You either have this antigen (meaning your blood type is “Rh+” or “positive”), or you don’t (meaning your blood type is “Rh-” or “negative”). So, from the four blood groups, there are eight blood types:

● A positive or A negative
● B positive or B negative
● AB positive or AB negative
● O positive or O negative

O -ve is universal blood donor while AB +ve is universal blood acceptor......
