Anti-serum A Anti-serum B Anti-serum Rh

• If there is • If there is • If there is
clumping on blood clumping on blood clumping on blood
it is A blood type it is B blood type it is positive
• If no, it is not A • If no, it is not B protein denote as
blood type blood type + after the blood
type for example
(A+)
• If no, it is negative
protein denote as
– after blood type
for example (A-)
ACTIVITY 38: BLOOD TYPING

Blood type O+
• can be transfused into patients of four different
blood types: A+, B+, AB+, and of course O+.
Blood type O-
• People with type O- blood are called universal
donors because their donated red blood cells
have no A, B or Rh antigens and can therefore be
safely given to people of any blood group.
ACTIVITY 38: BLOOD TYPING

Blood type AB+

• People with type AB+ blood are universal
recipients because they have no antibodies to A,
B or Rh in their blood and can receive red blood
cells from a donor of any blood type.
Blood type AB-
• can be transfused into patients of four different
blood types: A-, B-, O-, and of course AB-.
ACTIVITY 38: BLOOD TYPING

The accurate grouping of blood is very important when it

comes to having a blood transfusion. If blood is given to a
patient that has a blood type that is incompatible with the
blood type of the blood that the patient receives, it can cause
intravenous clumping in the patient’s blood which can be
fatal. The patient’s body can start producing antibodies that
attack the antigens on the blood cells in the blood that was
given to the patient, causing reaction and rejection.
ACTIVITY 38: BLOOD TYPING

Example 1
• a patient who is blood group B has naturally occurring Anti-A
antibodies in their blood plasma. If this (blood group B) patient
receives blood group A red cells, the Anti-A antibodies in the plasma of
the patient will cause the blood group A red cells to clump
intravenously (within the veins), which is life threatening.
Example 2
• Similarly, a patient who is blood group A has naturally occurring Anti-B
antibodies in their blood plasma. If this (blood group A) patient
receives blood group B red cells, the Anti-B antibodies in the plasma of
the patient will again cause the blood group B red cells to clump
intravenously which poses the same life-threatening risks.
ACTIVITY 38: BLOOD TYPING

A DNA paternity test using blood type is nearly 100%

accurate at determining whether a man is another person’s
biological father. By using multiple red cell antigen
systems and adding additional studies on other blood types
it is possible to state with a high degree of statistical
certainty that a particular male is the father.
ACTIVITY 38: BLOOD TYPING

For example:

▪ Christine has a blood AB and ken is type O. and then

their baby is Type AB.

Christine is type AB so she has one genotype. Ken is

type O so he also has a one genotype. it is obvious that
the baby get one allele from each parent. so the mother
could have given the baby either A or the B but the other
allele had to come from someone else. And eventually, it
did not come from Ken. Therefore, Ken is not possibly
the father
