Accepted Answer

Individuals with blood type A do not produce anti-A antibodies because they have A antigens on their red blood cells. Instead, they produce anti-B antibodies to fight against B antigens, which they lack. The presence of Rh^- indicates Rh and other antigen systems, but not the absence of Rh antigens, so anti-Rh antibodies would not be produced.
