Blood Group Types Explained. 1  Your blood group will be A, B, AB, or O. If you have A B or O blood group, you have antibodies in your blood plasma that destroy some of the other blood groups. 2  Your Rh status will be listed as negative (-) or positive (+).
Blood type (or blood group) is determined, in part, by the ABO blood group antigens present on red blood cells. A blood type (also called a blood group) is a classification of blood based on the presence or absence of inherited antigenic substances on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs). Blood group A individuals have the A antigen on the surface of their RBCs, and blood serum containing IgM antibodies against the B antigen. 2  Therefore, a group A individual can receive blood only from individuals of groups A or O (with A being preferable), and can donate blood to individuals with type A or AB.
