Has no antigen
in many textbooks it will state "no A-antigen and no B-antigen"(which imply the possibility of some other antigen) and some will even say, "no antigen" (which is true; antigens are things that attach to antigen binding sites, thus, if it does not fit any antigen binding sites, it is technically not a antigen but merely a "enzyme/protein") but this is just to reduce unnecessary and irrelevant information; they are only concerned about A-antibody, B-antibody, A-antigen, and B-antigen. Nonetheless, know that there are in fact antigens on o blood cells, they are just inactive.
My guess is, N acetyl glactosamine on A antigen and Galactose on B antigens are Epitopes (: a small specific regions on antigens that are bound by the antigen receptors on lymphocytes and by secreted antibodies.) Antigens without epitopes will not be detected by antigen binding sites.

A person with type A blood has antibodies to?
Type A blood will produce antibodies against B antigens.
A person with type A blood will have which one either A or B antibodies in plasma?
A - blood type
What kind of antibodies does type AB have?
Since that person has anti-B antibodies, then A antigens are present in her red blood cells. Since that person doesnt have anti-A antibodies, then there are no B antigens present, which means the person has A type blood.
Antibodies found in blood type A positive?
Individuals with blood type A positive have antibodies against blood type B antigens. This means their immune system reacts against blood from individuals with blood type B if they were to receive a transfusion containing type B blood.
What antibodies do a person with A- have?
A person with blood type A- has antibodies against type B blood antigens. This means they can receive blood from donors with type A- and O- blood, but not from donors with type B or AB blood.
What prevents your body from accepting transfusions of certain types of blood?
Antibodies. They are designed to resist, or fight, specific types of antigens. Type AB has no antibodies, which is why they can receive any type of blood. Type A has B antibodies, which means it will fight type B blood as well as type AB. Type B has A antibodies, which means it will fight type A blood, as well as type AB. Type O has A and B antibodies, which is why it can only receive type O blood.
Which blood types in terms of the ABA and Rh antigens can be donated to somebody with type AB blood?
B+ here is a guide for you: type A - A antigens B antibodies; type B - B antigens A antibodies; Type AB - A&B antigens and no antibodies; type O - no antigens and A&B antibodies. for the rh you just have to add if it is + or -.
What is Blood Type B negative for antibodies?
Blood type B negative has antibodies against blood type A antigens. This means that individuals with blood type B negative should not receive blood transfusions with type A or AB blood since their immune system will recognize these blood types as foreign and mount an immune response against them.
Blood type A will respond to a blood transfusion of blood type B with anti-B antibodies?
true
Individuals with type ab are blood recipient can you tell why?
1-Type A ... which has antibodies : B ... and Antigene : A2-Type B ... which has antibodies : A ... and Antigen : B3-Type AB . which has No antibodies ... and has Antigen : A and B4-Type O .. which has antibodies : A and B ... and has No Antigensfrom this information's, you can notice that AB blood type doesn't have Antibodies that's why it accept all types during blood transfusion, when there is no antibodies this means that the body will not consider the other blood types as foreigners.
Why during transfusion blood type O does not cause reaction while it contains Anti - A and Anti - B antibodies?
Blood Type 'O': Red Blood cells have neither A-antigen, nor B-antigen but generates both Anti-A and Anti-B antibodies - Blood Type 'A': Red blood cells have the A-antigen which generates the Anti-B antibodies Blood Type 'B': Red blood cells have the B-antigen and generate Anti-A antibodies The lack of antigen explains why Type "O" can safely donate to Type "A" and Type "B". The Anti-A and Anti-B antibodies generated by Type "O" is the reason "O" cannot receive donations from Type "A" or Type "B".
Which antibody and antigen combination match each blood type?
The blood type notation A Rh- indicates which antigens and antibodies are present in the blood. A indicates there are A antigens. Rh+ indicates there are Rh antigens. B antibodies. If there are A and Rh antigens but no B antigens, the antibodies in the blood plasma are B antibodies.
