What are The blood proteins A and B?
they are blood types
Why O blood group can donate anybody?
O blood has no major proteins that A and B blood have. For example: If someone had B blood with its specific proteins, this person cant receive A blood because it has the specific A blood proteins that will cause bad clotting to stop it. O blood (with no different proteins) wont affect any blood.
Can a person with blood type AB donate blood to a person with blood type A explain?
Each blood type has it's identifying proteins, and will reject blood with the wrong proteins. Type A blood is anti-B, type B blood is anti-A, type O blood has both, and type AB blood has neither. Imagine if someone with AB blood tried to donate to someone with A. AB blood has identifying proteins A and B. The type A blood would recognize the B proteins and kill the cells. The same thing would happen with B, which would recognize the A proteins and kill the cells. Type O blood would recognize and reject both the A and B proteins and reject them. However, if someone who is type AB gives to AB people, their blood does not destroy neither protein A nor B, so it would accept it.
Which human blood group lacks proteins in the red blood cells?
Blood type O lacks the antigen proteins of A and B. Blood type O is the universal donor.
What is the blood type of a person whose plasma contain anti-b clumping proteins?
blood type A
so what exactly is a blood type?
A blood group or blood type is based on the presence or absence of two proteins (A, B) on the surface of red blood cells. Because two proteins are involved, there are four possible combinations or blood types (ABO groups):Type A - Only the A protein is present.Type B - Only the B protein is present.Type AB - Both proteins are present.Type O - Neither protein is present (about 40 percent of the population).
Does a person with blood type b have more blood than a person with blood type a?
No, the only difference is in the shape of certain proteins.
What is the blood type of a person whose plasma contains only anti-B clumping proteins?
blood type A
What role do surface markers play in blood typing?
Different proteins cause different blood types. A and B are two different proteins, as is M and N. O is the absence.
What type of blood type of a person whose plasma contains only anti b clumping proteins?
blood type A
Fibrinogens are the plasma proteins responsible for?
B. the formation of blood clots :)) By simone :) Hi rubyy!
How is your blood type determaned?
There are two important blood types: the ABO blood type and the Rhesus blood type. ABO is the A, B, AB, or O blood type, and the Rhesus type is the + or - usually written after the ABO blood type (eg. AB+ or O-). At the level of your blood, blood type is determined by proteins present on the surface of red blood cells, which circulate around your body delivering oxygen to cells. On the surface of red blood cells is a combination of three surface proteins: A, B, and Rhesus. Blood types code for the presence or absence of these proteins. Blood type A have A type surface proteins but lack B. Blood type B lacks A but has B proteins. Blood type AB has both, and Blood type O has neither A nor B. Rhesus positive exhibit the Rhesus protein, while Rhesus negative lack it. It is these proteins which determine which types of blood you can receive safely. Individuals with A type blood cells cannot be exposed to B type surface proteins safely, so B and AB blood is off the cards for them. O negative blood lacks any of these proteins so can be transfused into any patient, hence the term "universal donor". It is your genes which determine which of these proteins are expressed. As with the majority of genes you have two copies of both the ABO and Rhesus genes, one copy from your mother and one from your father. From each parent you inherent either an A, a B, or an O gene, and also either a Rhesus positive (Rh+) or a Rhesus negative (Rh-) gene. The combination of the two genes you have determines your blood type as follows: AA or AO = A Blood type BB or BO = B Blood type AB = AB blood type OO = O Blood type Rh+Rh+ or Rh+Rh- = Rhesus positive Rh-Rh- = Rhesus negative
