A person with blood group AB has which of the following antigens in his RBCs?
The correct option is C AB
Our blood types are determined by heredity. People belong to either of eight different blood types:
A Rh+, A Rh-, B Rh+, B Rh-, AB RH+, AB Rh-, 0 Rh+, or 0 Rh- .
The eight blood types have different combinations of certain molecules, antigens, on the surface of the red blood cells. The A and B antigens are sugars and the Rh antigens are proteins. The antigens expressed in the red blood cells determine an individual's blood type.
Also the combination of some other molecules floating around in the blood plasma differs between the eight blood types, the so called antibodies.
Blood type AB Rh-
Antigens (on the surface of the red blood cells):
AB indicates there are both A and B antigens.
(Rh- indicates there are no Rh antigens.)
Antibodies (in the blood plasma):
Rh antibodies.
(If there are A and B antigens but no Rh antigens, the antibodies in the blood plasma are Rh antibodies.)
So, the correct option is 'AB'.
