Categorizing blood according to type helps prevent reactions when someone gets a blood transfusion. Blood groups are just a genetic difference, like having green eyes instead of blue or straight hair instead of curly.
Red blood cells have markers on their surface that characterize the cell type. These markers (also called antigens) are proteins and sugars that our bodies use to identify the blood cells as belonging in us.
The two main blood groups are ABO and Rh.
The ABO blood system has four main types:
Type A: Has a marker known as A.
Type B: Has a marker known as B.
Type AB: Has both A and B markers.
Type O: Has neither A nor B markers.
Blood is further classified as being either "Rh +" (has Rh factor) or "Rh -" (without Rh factor).
So, there are 8 blood types:
O+, O-, AB+, AB-, A+, A-, B+, B-
To get a blood transfusion safely, a person's immune system must recognize the donor cells as a match to his or her own cells.
The immune system makes proteins called antibodies that act as protectors if foreign cells enter the body. Depending on which blood type you have, your immune system will make antibodies to react against other blood types.
If a patient gets the wrong blood type, the antibodies immediately set out to destroy the invading cells. This aggressive, whole-body response can give someone bad reactions.
Example of how the blood type-antibody process works:
Type A blood has A marker, it makes B antibodies.
If B markers (found in type B or type AB blood) enter your body, your type A immune system gets fired up against them.
This means that you can only get a transfusion from someone with A or O blood, not from someone with B or AB blood.
For people with type AB or type O blood:
You have both A and B markers (type AB blood), your body does not need to fight the presence of either.
But if you have type O blood, there are no A or B markers. So: Your body will have bo
