Rh D - negative individuals generate an immune response when are exposed to the Rh -D antigen . However, incompatibility in the ABO blood group system occurs naturally in the absence pf expsure to the A or B antigen in the blood from another individual. Why do individuals produce an immune response the first time encounter the A or B antigen as an adult?

Which of the blood type(s) will contain antibodies against type B+ blood - or the potential to create these antibodies?
