Explain why in blood typing a group A will be pos for Anti-A and B cells???
You're testing the blood group, so if you add AB to look for bond Ag (forward), youre going to get a pos Ab to the actual blood group (So anti-A for A), and in reverse typing, you should have Abs against OTHER cells than the blood group (so pos for B cells if you have type A)
