What does it mean when your blood is classified as code 96?
Code 96 donors have a particular combination of antigens that make their red cells rare. An antigen is a type of protein on the outer surface of the red blood cell. When a patient receives a transfusion of blood carrying the same antigens as his or her own blood, the donor red cells are "welcomed" into the body because they do not recognize the transfused cells are foreign. If the patient does not have the same antigens, they may develop antibodies to the antigens and their body may reject or react with future blood transfused with these antigens. Patients who are transfused very often can easily form antibodies (immune responses) to some red cell antigens. Once antibodies from, these patients require very precisely matched transfusions to prevent transfusion reactions and production of more antibodies.

Is it safe for a 13 yr old to have contacts?
It depends on the patient. Wearing contact lenses is a huge responsibility for someone that young. Hygeine is imperative, they must be kept as sterile as possible at all times. Lenses must also be handled with the greatest of care, even the slightest amount of damage to a lens can cause irritation and the patient needs to know what to do about it. The patient will also need to know what do if lens splits or a fragment breaks off in their eye, if this isn't dealt withcorrectly it could lead to a vry serious infection. If you are confident that a 13 year old can handle all the responsibility involved with wearing contact lenses, then they could wear them. However, you may struggle to find an Optometrist willing to prescribe them!
Why is it advantageous to try to repair or replace damaged tissues using a patients own cells to grow the tissue?
All cells have antigens on them. Antigens are things that could stimulate the immune system. All of the patient's body cells have antigens on them that his/her body recognizes as "self." This means his/her immune system will not attack them. If someone else's cells come into contact with the patient, he or she might mount an immune response against them. The patient's body would try to destroy the cells. In a transplant, this ends up as transplant rejection. That's why immunosuppresants are administered for transplant patients (and they come with their own problems). When you're grafting tissue to a patient, an allograft (graft from the patient him/herself) is preferable because the antigens are very much less likely to provoke an immune attack.

Nothing is wrong because blood AB has antigen A and B.
