Desribe how to type blood to detect the abo and rh blood groups?
To type blood according to abo, the lab detects the proteins of the cells to determine whether blood is a b or o. To further type blood into rh- and rh positive, the lab checks antibodies to specific proteins.
Can o positive and a positive parents have o negative children?
Never. Although, genes for ABO and Rh blood groups are present on the surface of RBCs but ABO and Rh blood group systems are different. Rh positive is always dominant to Rh negative gene irrespective of ABO blood groups. Hence, Rh positive blood group always express itself.
What are the two major blood groups used to identify blood type?
ABO and Rh
What has the author A Nickle written?
A. Nickle has written: 'ABO and Rh blood groups'
Can you have a negative red blood cell?
When we classify blood cells by their antigens we can classify them according to the ABO blood groups or the Rh blood groups. The Rh will either be + or -. They are usually used in conjunction so you might be A pos or O neg.
What are blood types, and how many are there?
Type A+ blood type denotes your blood group. Under the ABO system there are four blood groups which include A, B, AB, and O. Furthermore these can be categorized as rh positive and rh negative.
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.
Why is testing for Rh antigens and antibodies different from ABO testing?
abo blood group system was discovered in 1901 and rh was discovered in 1940.
If a child has o positive blood and the father has o negative blood could you determine the blood type of the mother?
ABO is not correlated to Rh+/Rh-. With the conditions stated in the question, the mother could be type A, B or O, and is certainly type RH+. So, she can be A+, B+ or O+.
What is the probability of an AB and Rh- blood type combination?
ABO
What is the least common blood type in humans?
When discussing blood types, the two groupings most commonly used are the ABO (A, B, AB, O) and Rh (+, -) systems. The least common blood type in humans is Bombay (EXTREMELY rare), which is a type O with missing H antigen. Otherwise, of the "normal" ABO and Rh typings, the least common group is AB-. ABO from most to least frequent: O, A, B, AB. The relative frequencies of these groups varies depending on race. The relative frequences of Rh+ and Rh- individuals also varies with race. About 85% of "whites" are Rh+, while 99.8% of American Indians are Rh+.
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)
