Blood group AB
Blood group AB. Computer artwork of red blood cells (erythrocytes) in the shape of the letters A and B. This represents blood group AB. There are four blood groups, A, B, AB and O, each determined by the presence or absence of carbohydrate molecules (antigens) on the surface of red blood cells. There are two types of blood group antigen; A and B. The lack of any antigen gives blood group O. If an incompatible blood type is given during a transfusion it can cause fatal immune reactions

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the blood group AB in a unique and artistic way. Created through computer artwork, it features red blood cells (erythrocytes) cleverly arranged to form the letters A and B, symbolizing this specific blood type. In the field of medicine, understanding blood groups is crucial as they play a significant role in transfusions and immune reactions. The image reminds us that there are four main blood groups: A, B, AB, and O. Each group is determined by the presence or absence of carbohydrate molecules known as antigens on the surface of red blood cells. Two types of antigens exist - A and B - while their absence results in blood group O. With its vibrant colors and intricate design, this illustration beautifully represents the complexity within our bodies' circulatory system. It serves as a reminder for healthcare professionals about the importance of accurate testing when determining an individual's blood type before any medical procedures involving transfusion. Science Photo Library has once again captured both scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal with this stunning piece of artistry. Through combining biology with technology, they have created an image that not only educates but also captivates viewers from various backgrounds – be it clinical professionals or those simply interested in exploring human health at its core.
