B) They carry anti-A antibodies.
C) They carry anti-B antibodies.
D) They are the universal donors.
E) They are the universal recipients.
III. LAB REPORT
You inherited your blood type from your parents. Your blood type is based on antigens found on your red blood cells named A or B and antibodies found in your plasma called a or b. See Table 1 for the antigen-antibody make-up of different blood types.
