Blood group ____ is the universal donor because donor red blood cells lack both A and B antigens.
O
Blood group ____ is the universal recipient because the recipient does not have any antibodies to A or B.
AB
A transfusion will be if a person with blood type O receives blood type A.
rejected
A transfusion will be if a person with blood type A receives blood type O.

A baby with hemolytic disease of the newborn will have the genotype RhD__.
RhD+
A mother whose baby has hemolytic disease of the newborn will have the genotype RhD___.
RhD-
In direct allorecognition, dendritic cells initiate the process, not donor dendritic cells.
recipient
There is not a natural biological role for allorecognition; transplant is an artificial process not encountered in natural biological settings.
direct
The statement, 'MHC diversity makes allotransplants easier because it is more likely to find a donor with a matching set of MHC alleles compared to the recipient' is .
false
are considered for xenografts because they are easily farmed and have organs of similar size to humans.
Pigs
stem cells can be generated from patients' own cells to avoid rejection.
Induced pluripotent
