a molecule that evokes an immune response

​​Antigen

a protein produced by the immune system to attack a specific antigen not found on person's own cells

Antibody

​​A antigens on RBC membrane and anti-B antibodies in plasma

​​Type a Blood

​B antigens on RBC membrane and anti-A antibodies in plasma

type b blood

BOTH A and B antigens on RBC membrane and no antibodies in plasma

type ab blood

​​Neither antigen on RBC membrane but both antibodies in plasma

type o blood

Multiple Choice

If an individual has TYPE O BLOOD... what kind of ANTIGENS does that individual have?

• both antigens

• antigen a

• neither antigen

• antigen b

Multiple Choice

If blood type AB has no antibodies but both antigens... does that make it the universal donor or the universal recipient?

• universal donor

• universal recipient

rh blood groups

• Named after the rhesus monkey

• Giving individuals either a positive blood type or a negative blood type

Rh group

What is the rh group?

• Consisting of many antigens... the main one being antigen D

• When antigen D is present the blood is "+" and when it is absent it is "-"

• No antibodies are found in the plasma unless... Rh- blood comes in contact with Rh+ blood which will result in anti-Rh antibodies being created

how can rh- rh+ blood come in contact?

Rh- blood can come in contact with Rh+ blood during pregnancy and birth. If a mother has Rh- blood and the baby has Rh+ blood, during the birth process the blood can be exposed to each other. If the mother comes in contact with the baby's Rh+ blood she will start to make the antibodies.

Multiple Choice

Which blood type will be Rh+?

• A+

• A-

• AB-

• O-

• Rh- mother carrying an Rh+ baby

• Exposed to blood during birth

• antibodies now produced

• now in a future pregnancy... the antibodies will attack the blood of the new baby

​

erythroblastosis fetalis

What is agglutination?

• The clumping of RBC following a transfusion of incompatible blood

• The antibodies will react with the antigens that will cause the agglutination

Below, the antibodies are reacting with the antigens found on the RBCs. This causes them to group and clump together... in other terms experience agglutination.

​

Blood cells experiencing agglutination

Multiple Choice

Why is it important to know blood types before donating/receiving blood?

• It isn't important

• to make sure the opposite blood donated is received

• to avoid agglutination

• to make sure clumping occurs

Multiple Select

If you have type O+ blood... what blood CAN you receive?

• O+

• O-

• AB-

• AB+

Multiple Select

If you have type A- blood, which blood type below WILL cause agglutination?

• O-

• A+

• A-

• AB+
