Question

question 5 (2 points) if a patient with type b blood received a transfusion of ab blood, which of the following would occur? the patients b antigens (antiglutinogens) will agglutinate with the anti - b antibodies (agglutinins) in the donor blood. the patients anti - b antibodies (agglutinins) will agglutinate with the b antigens (antiglutinogens) in the donor blood. the patients anti - b antibodies (agglutinins) will agglutinate with the anti - a antibodies (agglutinins) in the donor blood. the patients a antigens (antiglutinogens) will agglutinate with the anti - a antibodies (agglutinins) in the donor blood. the patients anti - a antibodies (agglutinins) will agglutinate with the a antigens (antiglutinogens) in the donor blood.

Explanation:

A person with type B blood has B antigens on their red - blood cells and anti - A antibodies. Type AB blood has both A and B antigens and no anti - A or anti - B antibodies. When a type B patient receives type AB blood, the patient's anti - A antibodies will react with the A antigens in the donor (type AB) blood, causing agglutination.

Answer:

The patient's anti - A antibodies (agglutinins) in the donor blood will agglutinate with the A antigens (antiglutinogens) in the donor blood.
