Answer. Blood group A will possess A antigens on the RBC and anti-B antibodies in the plasma.

Positive sign on A means, that the individual is Rh positive.

  • Blood group B has B antigens on the RBCs and anti-A antibodies in the plasma.
  • Blood group AB has both A and B antigens on the RBCs and no antibodies in the plasma.
  • Blood group O has no antigens on the RBCs and both anti-A and anti-B antibodies in the plasma.
