KINS 1224 Lab 6: Blood Typing

blood type

determined by carbohydrate markers present on the plasma membrane of your erythrocytes

antigens

markers that make blood identifiable to immune system; normally located on the extracellular surface of plasma membrane of a cell

antigen A

indicates blood type A

antigen B

indicates blood type B

Group A

Blood Cell Type: A

Antibodies: Anti-B

Antigens: A

Group B

Blood Cell Type: B

Antibodies: Anti-A

Antigens: B

Group AB

Blood Cell Type: AB

Antibodies: None

Antigens: A and B

Group O

Blood Cell Type: O

Antibodies: Anti-A and B

Antigens: None

blood type O

most common blood type

Rh Factor

determines positive or negative blood type based on presence of rhesus factor

Rh +

Rh Factor Present? Yes

Rh Antibodies Present? No

Rh -

Rh Factor Present? No

Rh Antibodies Present? Yes

agglutination

immune response know as clumping resulting from foreign particles

compatibility

based upon the antigens present in the donated cells and the antibodies present in the recipient cells

A blood type can donate to

A or AB (they lack A antibodies)

B blood type can donate to

B or AB (they lack B antibodies)

AB blood type can donate to

AB only (they have no antibodies)

O blood type can donate to

All blood types (they have no antigens

universal donor

O blood type

A blood type can get

A or O (they lack anti-a antibodies but have anti-b antibodies)

B blood type can get

B or O (they lack anti-b antibodies but have anti-a antibodies)

AB blood type can get

All blood types (they have no antibodies)

universal recipient

AB blood type

O blood type can get

O blood type (they have anti-a and anti-b antibodies)

hemolytic disease of the newborn

occurs due to Rh incompatibility between a mother and baby if mother is - and baby is +; women only make anti-Rh after first pregnancy

repeat pregnancies

most at risk for fetal death or miscarriage due to mixing of mother-baby blood.

blood type testing

uses antigen/antibody recognition to determine an individual's blood type

A+ blood type test

Anti-A: Agglutination
