ABO Blood Group System (AB0 Blood types & compatibility explained)

Hey Friends,

Do you know your own Blood Group? What is a blood type?
And what happens when someone with Blood Group A donates erythrocytes (= red blood cells) to another one with Blood Group B?

The ABO Blood Group System is just one of many classifications.
Please keep in mind that other factors (e.g. Rhesus Antigen) are of importance when considering a blood transfusion!

Cheers
Henrik
