    Under the ABO Blood typing (grouping) scheme, there are two especially important
    antigens called A and B. Every living human has either one or both or neither of the red
    Blood cells. An individual with Blood group A is so because he has antigen A. Antigen B
    makes a person's Blood group B. If a person has both antigens, then they are in group
    AB. If they have neither, the Blood group is O.
    Antibodies against these two antigens are found in Blood plasma. Some of the
    components of each Blood type act against other components.
    For example, Blood groups A, B, AB and O have antigens A, B, A&B and 'none'
    respectively. The antibodies are anti B, anti A, 'none' and anti A + anti B.

    BLOOD DONATION

    During the transfusion process, Blood matching must first be accurately done. How is
    Blood matched? Exactly what is Blood compatability. Why is my Blood compatible? For
    example if a person of Blood group A is given Blood from a donor from Blood group B,
    the anti B antibodies will stick to the B antigens on the donated red Blood cells entering
    their body. This makes a reaction that can be fatal. Therefore, exact matching is critical;
    possibly the difference between life and death!

    "..... In the past, a person with blood type O negative blood was considered to be a
    universal donor. It meant his or her blood could be given to anyone, regardless of
    blood type, without causing a transfusion reaction. This is no longer a relevant
    concept because of a better understanding of the complex issues of immune
    reactions related to incompatible donor blood cells."
    - Mayo Clinic HealthOasis - Ask a Physician 08/09/2000 [full text available HERE]

    Other than in extreme emergency conditions, donor Blood is checked for compatibility with the
    recipient's Blood (cross-matched) before it is transfused, regardless of Blood type. There are
    potentially important Blood cell factors other than the A, B, AB and O Blood groups and the Rh
    (Rhesus) factor that can lead to serious and in some cases, irreversible problems.

    There are some good reasons for a husband to not donate Blood to his wife during
    her childbearing years. During this time, a women who plans to become pregnant,
    receiving Blood from her husband may pose a small risk to the infants born of these
    pregnancies. If, after the Blood transfusion the woman develops an antibody to an
    antigen on the father's red Blood cells, and the subsequently born fetus inherits the
    father's red cell antigen, the antibody from the mother may enter the Bloodstream of
    the fetus causing destruction of fetal red Blood cells. This may cause serious anemia
    in the fetus and excessive jaundice in the infant after birth. This is a known major
    cause of brain damage. Special Blood transfusions, using selected red Blood cells
    that do not have the particular in-compatible and offending antigen, are available
    when this condition is pre-diagnosed. Of course, we suggest autologous Blood
    donation for the mother. However, for those mothers who are unable to make an
    autologous donation, the decision to select her husband as a donor should always
    take this risk under consideration, and specific consultation with your pediatrician on
    this subject is essential.

    Having thoroughly confused the situation, study the following chart. It is presented as a
    general guideline, and to help make the facts more clear. The chart is correct, as a rule
    of thumb, barring anomalies
