I am learning the same thing =] so if you have type A blood, that means you have A proteins. If you have type B blood you have B type proteins.. O blood O type proteins and same with AB. If you have A blood and you donate to B blood, that persons body will know that they have the wrong proteins, and it will kill all the new ones, which will cause them to die.
I hope i helped you! =]

The cells of the organ will continue making those markers (cell surface antigens) as long as the organ is alive.
The immune system of the recipient will react to a great variety of foreign antigens. If the recipient's immune system reacts to the donated organ, it will eventually kill the organ. Therefore, you'd want an organ that the recipient's immune system would not react to.

Because a mismatch would be fatal to the organ recipient.
