All humans and many other primates can be typed for the ABO blood group. There are four principal types: A, B, AB, and O. There are two antigens and
two antibodies
that are mostly responsible for the ABO types.
What are the antibodies in type B blood?
| Name of Blood Group Antigens present on the red cell surface ABO antibodies present in the plasma | Type O nil anti-A and anti-B | Type A A antigen anti-B | Type B B antigen anti-A | Type AB A and B antigens nil |
|---|
What type of antibodies are in type B blood?
Blood group B has B antigens
with anti-A antibodies
in the plasma. Blood group A has A antigens on the red blood cells with anti-B antibodies in the plasma. This combination of antigens and antibodies determine which blood type you can be safely given for medical purposes.
Which antibodies are found in the serum of type B blood?
IgG and IgM
Anti-A is found in the serum of people with blood groups O and B.
Which blood type contains the B antibody only?
B —
red blood
cells have only the B antigen. AB — red blood cells have the A and B antigens. O — neither A nor B antigen.
What are the 3 rarest blood types?
- O positive: 35%
- O negative: 13%
- A positive: 30%
- A negative: 8%
- B positive: 8%
- B negative: 2%

Why does blood group have B antibodies?
Group A: The surface of the red blood cells contains A antigen, and the plasma has anti-B antibody. Anti-B antibody would
attack blood cells
that contain B antigen. Group B: The surface of the red blood cells contains B antigen, and the plasma has anti-A antibody.
Can blood type change from negative to positive?
Blood banks have not always been consistent in how this is reported. Since it's possible for a person who is
Rh-negative
to react to even a weakly positive Rh D factor, it is safest for potential recipients to consider your blood Rh-positive.
