I know that blood transfusions are limited amongst blood types because of anti-gen anti-body reactions. What I don't understand is how the donor's anti-body does not react with the recipient's RBCs.
For example: If a man with AB blood type received blood from an O type woman, why doesn't the anti-bodies of the O blood attack the AB blood of the man? Meanwhile, if AB is given to O, there would be a life-threatening reaction.
