What is the difference between blood types?

Question

A , A-, B , B-, AB , AB-....... What's the difference???

If you know, please tell me!

Answer 1

all the blood types differs from their dna structures and number of physical components such as platelettes, WBC, RBC,and plasma

Answer 2

There are 3 types of antygens one is A, one is B and the other is Rh and showed with + or -. If you are A you have only A antigen, and that means you have B antibody. If B antibody and B antigen gets together you die. That means 0 cant get any blood from any blood types but 0 because it has both antibodies and AB can get blood from every type because it doesnt hve antibodies. Rh has nothing to do with A and B antigens. If there is Rh in your blood, I mean if you are Rh+ that means you can get blood from both Rh+ and Rh- blood types. But if you have Rh- then that means you have Rh antibody and you can't take blood from Rh+. - can give because it doesn't contain any antigens. Thant means 0- can give everyone blood but only take 0- blood and AB+ can take every kind of blood but only give AB+ blood. That is why doctors say 0- is the hardest blood to find.

Answer 3

The differences in human blood are due to the presence or absence of certain protein molecules called antigens and antibodies. The antigens are located on the surface of the red blood cells and the antibodies are in the blood plasma. Individuals have different types and combinations of these molecules. The blood group you belong to depends on what you have inherited from your parents.

There are more than 20 genetically determined blood group systems known today, but the AB0 and Rh systems are the most important ones used for blood transfusions. Not all blood groups are compatible with each other. Mixing incompatible blood groups leads to blood clumping or agglutination, which is dangerous for individuals.

Nobel Laureate Karl Landsteiner was involved in the discovery of both the AB0 and Rh blood groups.

Blood group A

If you belong to the blood group A, you have A antigens on the surface of your red blood cells and B antibodies in your blood plasma.

Blood group B

If you belong to the blood group B, you have B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells and A antibodies in your blood plasma.

Blood group AB

If you belong to the blood group AB, you have both A and B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells and no A or B antibodies at all in your blood plasma.

Blood group 0

If you belong to the blood group 0 (null), you have neither A or B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells but you have both A and B antibodies in your blood plasma.

Rh factor blood grouping system

Many people also have a so called Rh factor on the red blood cell's surface. This is also an antigen and those who have it are called Rh+. Those who haven't are called Rh-. A person with Rh- blood does not have Rh antibodies naturally in the blood plasma (as one can have A or B antibodies, for instance). But a person with Rh- blood can develop Rh antibodies in the blood plasma if he or she receives blood from a person with Rh+ blood, whose Rh antigens can trigger the production of Rh antibodies. A person with Rh+ blood can receive blood from a person with Rh- blood without any problems.
