BLOOD GROUPS
FACTS ABOUT BLOOD GROUPS
• THE MOST IMPORTANT BLOOD GROUP IN THE
U.S. IS THE ABO GROUP
• 3 ALLELES FOR THIS GROUP: A,B & O
• A PERSON CAN ONLY INHERIT 2 ALLELES
(GENES) FOR THIS
POSSIBLE GENE COMBINATIONS

Antigen
• In immunology, an antigen is a substance
that evokes the production of one or more
antibodies. Each antibody binds to a
specific antigen by way of an interaction
similar to the fit between a lock and a key
Antibody
• An antibody (Ab), also known as an
immunoglobulin (Ig), is a large Y-shaped
protein produced by B-cells that is used by
the immune system to identify and
neutralize foreign objects such as bacteria
and viruses
• So the foreign antigen is the “bad guy” and
the antibody is the molecule your body
uses to fight the foreign antigen
• Serology – the study of antigen – antibody
reactions
Laboratory Examination Individualization
• The surface of a RBC
contains antigens
• Antigen (Ag) – a
glycoprotein that
stimulates the body to
produce antibodies (Ab)
against it
• Antigens impart bloodtype characteristics to the
RBC
Laboratory Examination –
ABO and Rh system
Recipient
Meaning they have the
following blood type
A (antigen A and
antibody B)
B (antigen B and
antibody A
AB (antigen A
and B and no
antibodies)
O (not antigens
but both antibody
A and B*)

UNIVERSAL DONOR: THE BLOOD TYPE
THAT CAN BE GIVEN TO ALL OTHER
BLOOD TYPES.
TYPE O- IS THE UNIVERSAL DONOR.
UNIVERSAL ACCEPTOR: THE BLOOD TYPE
THAT CAN RECEIVE ALL OTHER BLOOD
TYPES.
TYPE AB+ IS THE UNIVERSAL ACCEPTOR.
Rh FACTOR
• THE Rh FACTOR IS ANOTHER ANTIGEN
(PROTEIN) THAT CAN BE FOUND ON THE
SURFACE OF SOME RBC’S
• PEOPLE WITH THIS PROTEIN ON THEIR RBC’S
ARE Rh+
• .
• PEOPLE WHO LACK THIS PROTEIN ARE Rh-.
ERYTHROBLASTOSIS FETALIS
• A HEMOLYTIC DISEASE OF NEWBORNS.
• THE RESULT OF Rh INCOMPATIBILITY
• THE MOTHER IS Rh- & THE FATHER IS Rh+
