What are the another blood-groups system?
There are many types of blood group systems. ABO and Rh being the two main systems... Others are: Kell, Kidd, Duffy, etc. (there are many more)
Is there any MN blood group in humans?
Yes. You have MN system of blood group in humans.
In which year ABO system of blood grouping discovered?
The ABO blood group system was discovered in 1900 by Karl Landsteiner. The AB blood group was discovered by Von Decastellor and Sturli in 1902.
What is the ABO blood system and Co dominance?
explain co-dominance selecting the example of ABO blood group system
How do you detect antobodies from other blood group systems?
Basic imunology principle; if you wanna detect specific antibody, you should have a specific antigen to detect it. The other blood group system considered as minor blood group and of course the major one is ABO and Rh system. Antibodies from other blood group such as MNSs, P, Mia, Kidd, Kell, Duffy, Lewis, Diego etc. might cause hemolytic transfusion reaction as well in case of it's catagories in IgG class. From basic imunology princeple, known cell, Standard cell O can be used for detecting antibodies from other blood group systems. The main reason of using O cell for detect other blood group is.. there're no A-Ag and B-Ag on red cell. The process of anti human globulin test (Indirect coombs test) could be perform between serum sample and standard o cell to detect antibodies form other blood group systems.
What type of blood has anti-a blood?
In the ABO blood group system, a person's immune system naturally creates antibodies to the antigens that it lacks. Group A people have the A antigen, so they will make Anti-B. Group B people have the B antigen, so they will make Anti-A. Group O people do not have A or B antigens, so they make both Anti A and Anti B. Group AB people have both A and B antigens. They do not have antibodies in this blood group system. So, the short answer to your question: B and O people will both have Anti-A in their blood.
What group of organs removes waste from blood?
The urinary system takes the waste from your blood and excretes it when 'nature calls'.
Is their such a thing as blood d?
I assume what you are talking about is D antigen in Rh (Rhesus) blood group system. Rh blood group system is the most important blood group system after ABO blood group system (i.e. type A (AA, AO), type AB, type B (BB, BO), type O (OO) ). The Rh blood group system consists of 50 defined blood-group antigens and the 5 antigens D, C, c, E, and e are the most important. The commonly-used terms Rh factor, Rh positive and Rh negative refer to the D antigen only. Rh factor (Rh- and Rh + depending on D antigen neg/pos) is important for blood transfusion and prevention of hemolytic disease of the newborn or erythroblastosis fetalis (basically the baby and mom have different blood type - Rh- and Rh+ and cause severe immune response - fatal to the newborn)
What are the blood types in the world population?
It depends what blood group or system you are interested in. The major blood groups are the ABO and Rh system. In addition to these, there are approximately 30 other blood groups/systems of importance in immunohematology.
Is blood group have less immunity as compare to other blood groups?
Blood groups are dertermined on the surface of the red blood cells and they have nothing to do with our immune system.
What is blood group and their importance in human?
Blood groups are a classification of the blood in a body that is based on the presence or absence of inherited antigenic substances on the surface of red blood cells. These antigens can come in a number of forms, namely carbohydrates, proteins, glycoproteins and glycolipids. The ones that are there depend on the blood group system. These red blood cell surface antigens can stem from one allele and together they form a blood group system. A person's blood group is inherited from their parents and represent contributions from both the mother and the father. The International Society of Blood Transfusion have classified a total of 30 human blood groups. It is important to have blood groups, in a medical sense, to aid successful blood transfusions. Certain people with certain blood groups can only accept blood from the same system, others have blood groups that can be accepted by most humans. Classifying blood allows hospitals to keep a supply of each group from donors ready for any transfusions that may need it. Blood donors are a crucial part to this system and although thousands of people donate blood, there is still a short supply of some of the rarer groups. Blood group systems are categorized by two sub systems. These are the ABO blood group system and the Rh blood group system. The ABO blood group system is the most important blood group system regarding human blood transfusion. The associated anti A and anti B antibodies are usually Immunoglobin M. These antibodies are produced in the first few years of life be sensitization to a variety of foods, bacteria and viruses. The Rh blood group system is the second most important blood group system for human blood transfusion. The most prominent antigen is the D antigen as it is the most likely to provoke an immune system response from the other five antigens.
What are the 4 kinds of blood?
According to the AB0 blood group system there are four different kinds of blood groups: A, B, AB or 0 (null). Blood group A If you belong to the blood group A, you have A antigens on the surface of your red blood cells and B antibodies in your blood plasma. Blood group B If you belong to the blood group B, you have B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells and A antibodies in your blood plasma. Blood group AB If you belong to the blood group AB, you have both A and B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells and no A or B antibodies at all in your blood plasma. Blood group 0 If you belong to the blood group 0 (null), you have neither A or B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells but you have both A and B antibodies in your blood plasma.
