Rhesus monkey.
The antigen was first discovered in the blood of Rhesus monkeys.
Australia antigen,1 an envelope antigen known as hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), found in acute or chronic hepatitis B.2 a serologic marker on the surface of the hepatitis B virus.It is commonly referred to as the Australia Antigen. This is because it was first isolated by the American research physician and Nobel Prize winner Baruch S. Blumberg in the serum of an Australian Aboriginal person.It was discovered to be part of the virus that caused serum hepatitis by virologist Alfred Prince in 1968.Heptavax, a "first-generation" hepatitis B vaccine in the 1980s, was made from HBsAg extracted from the blood plasma of hepatitis patients. Current vaccines are made from recombinantHBsAg grown in yeast.
it is the inherited protein found on the surface of red blood cells
nope..well first two negatives cannot make a positive because the RH factor (or the D antigen) on the red blood cells that gives you the + or - blood type is genetically inherited. This means that if neither parent has the D antigen they cant pass it onto their children .
Rh factor is also called "Rhesus factor" because it was first discovered in the blood.
Blood of animals contaion a factor known as Rh factor which was first discovered in Rehsus monkey, so name Rh and if it is present blood is called Rh+ of positive and if not then Rh-ve or negative simply.....
O Positive is the most common blood type and it has no molecules on the red blood cell surface which means people with Type O universal blood donors. Positive means that your blood contains what is called a RhD antigen. Type O was the first blood type discovered. It is believed it can make you more likely to get ulcers or have thyroid problems.
Rh factor is also called "Rhesus factor" because it was first discovered in the blood.
To learn the answer of the above question first we have to know about the blood characteristics.There are four major types of blood A, B, AB, and 0. The blood types are determined by proteins called antigens. This antigen is found on the surface of the Red Blood Cell (RBC). Basically there are two antigens, A and B. If you have the A antigen on the RBC, then you have type A blood. When B antigen is present, you have type B blood. When both A and B antigens are present, you have type AB blood. When either are present, you have type O blood. When an antigen is resent on the RBC, then the opposite antibody is present in the plasma. For instance, type A blood has anti-type-B antibodies. Type B blood has anti-type-A antibodies. Type AB blood has no antibodies in the plasma, and type O blood has both anti-type-A and anti-type-B antibodies in the plasma. These antibodies are not present at birth but are formed spontaneously during infancy and last throughout life. In addition to the ABO blood group system, there is an Rh blood group system. There are many Rh antigens that can be present on the surface of the RBC. The D antigen is the most common Rh antigen. If the D antigen is present, then that blood is Rh+. If the D antigen is missing, then the blood is Rh-. Blood is transfused to a patient after determining the blood group and matching the characteristics of both. In such case the immune system accepts the foreign object.
The letters of the blood types are assigned by the number of antigens in the person's blood. A and B are used because they are the first two letters of the alphabet. O is used to signify zero, as in zero antigens.
because you smell
