  • Blood received in a transfusion must contain antigens that are the same as the antigens on a person's own red blood cells (compatible blood). If you receive a transfusion that contains antigens different from your own (incompatible blood), the antibodies in your plasma will recognize the transfused (donor) blood as foreign and will attack and destroy the donor red blood cells. This is called a transfusion reaction, and it occurs immediately when incompatible blood is transfused. A transfusion reaction can be mild or cause a serious illness and even death. http://my.webmd.com/hw/health_guide_atoz/hw3681.asp
