Bill wants to determine his blood type, so he takes a few drops of blood from a puncture wound in his finger and mixes it with various antisera.

Bill is Rh-negative. C. Bill could receive type B blood in a transfusion. D. Bill could donate blood to an individual with type AB blood. E. Bill's plasma contains anti-B antibodies.

E. Bill's plasma contains anti-B antibodies.
