Transfusion reaction. Top panel: Red blood cells bearing A antigen are transfused into a person who is type B and therefore has antibodies to A antigen. Middle panel: Anti-A antibodies bind to A antigen on the red cells causing agglutination of red cells that can block movement of blood through capillaries causing anoxia to tissue. Bottom panel: Complement is activated by the antigen–antibody complexes and the membrane attack complex lyses the red cells, causing hemolysis and anemia.
