*THE ABO BLOOD GROUP SYSTEM

There are 4 main blood groups defined by the ABO system:

*blood group A *

– has A antigens on the red blood cells with anti-B antibodies in the plasma

*blood group B*

– has B antigens with anti-A antibodies in the plasma

*blood group O*

– has no antigens, but both anti-A and anti-B antibodies in the plasma

*blood group AB*

– has both A and B antigens, but no antibodies

Blood group O is the most common blood group. Almost half of the UK population (48%) has blood group O.

Receiving blood from the wrong ABO group can be life-threatening. For example, if someone with group B blood is given group A blood, their anti-A antibodies will attack the group A cells.

This is why group A blood must never be given to someone who has group B blood and vice versa.

As group O red blood cells do not have any A or B antigens, it can safely be given to any other group.
