Blood - type compatibility is crucial in transfusions. Type A blood has A - agglutinogens. Type O blood has antibodies against both A and B - agglutinogens in its plasma. If type A blood is given to a type O recipient, the recipient's anti - A antibodies will react with the A - agglutinogens in the donated blood, causing agglutination.
