Blood Typing and Immunity

Blood types are determined by antigens on

RBC membranes

Anitbodies are found in the

plasma

Aggulutination is another them for

clumping

The universal donor is considered

O-

The universal receipient would be

AB+

Rh Blood groups where discovered on

Rhesus monkeys

Rh+ means that the antigen present/absent

present

The inflammatory response of warmth usually indicates

heat given off by the increased blood flow

The inflammatory response of pain usually indicates

Natural killer cells

Survey and destroy variety of microbes and cancer cells

Immunoglobin G Traits

• The most common

• Only immunoglobin to pass the placenta

• Present on secondary exposure

Immunoglobin M

Reacts to primary exposure

Immunoglobin A

• Found in secretion (tears, breast milk, saliva)

• Clumps to abnormal products

Immunoglobin E

• Specific to allergic reactions

• IgE binds to basophils which trigger degraunlation, which facilitates allergic response

Immunoglobin D

Activates and sensitizes B cells

Which immunoglobin is found in secretion?

A

Which immunoglobin can pass through the placenta?

G

Hemolysis is the

Breakdown of red blood cell
