Blood type A:The Perfectionist
While outwardly calm, they have such high standards (perfectionists)
that they tend to be balls of nerves on the inside. Type A's are the
most artistic of the blood groups. They can be shy, are conscientious,
trustworthy, and sensitive.
Positive qualities:
Reserved, Patient, Sensitive, Responsible and Punctual.
Negative qualities:
Obsessive, Stubborn, Conservative and Tense.
Compatibility:
A is most compatible with blood types A and AB.
Famous people with the same blood type:
George H. W. Bush, O.J. Simpson, Britney Spears, Alan Alda, Adolf Hitler, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon
Blood type B:The Individualist
Goal oriented and strong minded, type B's will start a task and continue
it until completed, and completed well. Type B's are the individualists
of the blood group categories and find their own way in life.

A
blood type (also called a
blood group) is a classification of
blood based on the presence or absence of
inherited antigenic substances on the surface of
red blood cells (RBCs). These antigens may be
proteins,
carbohydrates,
glycoproteins, or
glycolipids, depending on the blood group system. Some of these antigens are also present on the surface of other types of
cells of various
tissues. Several of these red blood cell surface antigens can stem from one
allele (or very closely linked
genes) and collectively form a blood group system.
[1] Blood types are
inherited and represent contributions from both parents. A total of 32
human blood group systems are now recognized by the
International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT).
[2]
Many
pregnant women carry a
fetus with a blood type different from their own, and the mother can form
antibodies against fetal RBCs. Sometimes these maternal antibodies are
IgG, a small immunoglobulin, which can cross the placenta and cause
hemolysis of fetal RBCs, which in turn can lead to
hemolytic disease of the newborn called erythroblastosis fetalis, an illness of
low fetal blood counts that ranges from mild to severe. Sometimes this is lethal for the fetus; in these cases it is called hydrops fetalis.

ABO blood group system
ABO blood group system: diagram showing the carbohydrate chains that determine the ABO blood group
The
ABO system is the most important blood-group system in human-blood transfusion. The associated anti-A and anti-B antibodies are usually
immunoglobulin M, abbreviated
IgM,
antibodies. ABO IgM antibodies are produced in the first years of life
by sensitization to environmental substances such as food,
bacteria, and
viruses. The
O in ABO is often called
0 (
zero, or
null) in other languages.
[12]
Rh blood group system
The Rh system is the second most significant blood-group system in
human-blood transfusion with currently 50 antigens. The most significant
Rh antigen is the D antigen, because it is the most likely to provoke
an immune system response of the five main Rh antigens. It is common for
D-negative individuals not to have any anti-D IgG or IgM antibodies,
because anti-D antibodies are not usually produced by sensitization
against environmental substances. However, D-negative individuals can
produce
IgG
anti-D antibodies following a sensitizing event: possibly a
fetomaternal transfusion of blood from a fetus in pregnancy or
occasionally a blood transfusion with D positive
RBCs.
[13] Rh disease can develop in these cases.
[14] Rh negative blood types are much less in proportion of Asian populations (0.3%) than they are in White (15%).
[15]
In the table below, the presence or absence of the Rh antigens is
signified by the + or − sign, so that for example the A− group does not
have any of the Rh antigens.

Red blood cell compatibility
- Blood group AB individuals have both A and B antigens on the surface of their RBCs, and their blood plasma
does not contain any antibodies against either A or B antigen.
Therefore, an individual with type AB blood can receive blood from any
group (with AB being preferable), but cannot donate blood to either A or
B group. They are known as universal recipients.
- Blood group A individuals have the A antigen on the surface of their RBCs, and blood serum containing IgM
antibodies against the B antigen. Therefore, a group A individual can
receive blood only from individuals of groups A or O (with A being
preferable), and can donate blood to individuals with type A or AB.
- Blood group B individuals have the B antigen on the surface
of their RBCs, and blood serum containing IgM antibodies against the A
antigen. Therefore, a group B individual can receive blood only from
individuals of groups B or O (with B being preferable), and can donate
blood to individuals with type B or AB.
- Blood group O (or blood group zero in some countries)
individuals do not have either A or B antigens on the surface of their
RBCs, but their blood serum contains IgM anti-A and anti-B antibodies
against the A and B blood group antigens. Therefore, a group O
individual can receive blood only from a group O individual, but can
donate blood to individuals of any ABO blood group (i.e., A, B, O or
AB). If a patient in a hospital situation were to need a blood
transfusion in an emergency, and if the time taken to process the
recipient's blood would cause a detrimental delay, O Negative blood can
be issued. They are known as universal donors.
