Blood type AB in the feline AB blood group system

Abstract

Kittens with type-AB blood born to queens with type-B blood are at similar risk for neonatal isoerythrolysis as kittens with type-A blood because anti-A alloantiserum from blood type-B queens recognizes AB red blood cells. Furthermore, cats with type-AB blood are best transfused with type-AB or type-A blood.
