OpenStudy (anonymous):

u know that a body is having B blood group so its cells will accept only B blood group if u tries to give other blood group like A or etc blood B will form antibodies which will expell the blood means destroy the RBC of A blood group ...for further i think u must know antibodies first do u know that what it is........

The body recognizes foreign infectant agents if they don't give off the proper cellular signal. A blood transfusion with the wrong type will have cells that don't give off the proper signal, so the body treats them like infectious agents.

thanks

OpenStudy (blues):

Bad refs is right. The body will treat it as an infectious agent or a foreign body. That amount of foreign substance in the blood would almost certainly activate the clotting pathway and result in a fatal condition called disseminated intravascular coagulation where all the blood just turns to clots in the veins.
