- A⁺: Antigens A, Rh; Anti-bodies B; Can receive from A⁺, A⁻, O⁺, O⁻; Can donate to A⁺, AB⁺
- A⁻: Antigens A; Anti-bodies B, Rh; Can receive from A⁻, O⁻; Can donate to A⁺, A⁻, AB⁺, AB⁻
- B⁺: Antigens B, Rh; Anti-bodies A; Can receive from B⁺, B⁻, O⁺, O⁻; Can donate to B⁺, AB⁺
- B⁻: Antigens B; Anti-bodies A, Rh; Can receive from B⁻, O⁻; Can donate to B⁺, B⁻, AB⁺, AB⁻
- AB⁺: Antigens A, B, Rh; Anti-bodies none; Can receive from all; Can donate to AB⁺
- AB⁻: Antigens A, B; Anti-bodies Rh; Can receive from A⁻, B⁻, AB⁻, O⁻; Can donate to AB⁺, AB⁻
- O⁺: Antigens Rh; Anti-bodies A, B; Can receive from O⁺, O⁻; Can donate to A⁺, B⁺, AB⁺, O⁺
- O⁻: Antigens none; Anti-bodies A, B, Rh; Can receive from O⁻; Can donate to all
- Universal donor: O⁻
- Universal recipient: AB⁺
- Transfusion reaction: An immune response where the recipient’s antibodies attack donated red blood cells, causing agglutination and hemolysis, potentially leading to shock, kidney failure, or death.
