Erythrocyte antigens that determine a person's abo blood type are known as?
agglutinogens
Blood type that contains A agglutinogens?
Type A, is this from the Blood Basics Quiz? I hate that thing.
What are some properties of having an 0 blood type?
The properties of type O blood are that it lacks both the A and B agglutinogens, which is a type of antigen. A positive property of type O blood is that it can be given to another with either A, B, or AB blood types. A negative property is that a person with type O blood can only be given type O blood.
What ABO agglutinogens are present on the red blood cells of MrGreen's blood?
A and B antigens are present on the red blood cells of Mr. Greens Blood.
What are the similarities between agglutinogens and agglutinins?
Both found in blood and both part of the immune system.
Does the male determine the blood type?
No. It is determined by both parents. There are two different types of agglutinogens, type 'A' and type 'B'. Type 'O' has no antigens on the surface of the cell.Each type has different properties. The ABO blood type classification system uses the presence or absence of these molecules to categorize blood into four types. Everyone inherits two alleles of the gene, one from each parent.The combination of your two alleles determines your blood type.
Which scientist discovered human blood groups?
In the year 1900, an Austrian Scientist, Karl Landsteiner, discovered iso-agglutination, the phenomenon wherein red corpuscles and serum of the animal species are clumped together. On carrying out further experiments on blood, Landsteiner discovered that agglutinogens when mixed with agglutinins of another blood types produced fatal agglutination. These agglutinogens were named as A and B, and their respective agglutinins were named alpha and beta respectively. With this discovery, the question of blood group incompatibility was explained. Later, he discovered another blood type and named it O. In 1907, another scientist Jansky discovered a fourth type of blood, it was named AB. This discovery was corroborated by Moss in 1910. These agglutinogens and agglutins were renamed as antigens and antibodies respectively, specific to the blood.
What is the difference between A and B antigen?
If a transfusion is needed, blood type has to be determined so that the type in the patient is the same as the blood that will be given.There are two different types of agglutinogens, type "A" and type "B" on the surface of our red blood cells. Each type has different properties.The ABO blood type classification system uses the presence or absence of these molecules to categorize blood into four types.If person has type B on their cells, they will have antibodies in their blood for type A. If this person is given type A, the antigens and antibodies will react causing the blood to clot causing damage and most likely death.
Are all transfusions types the same?
No. Transfusions are categorized into different blood types. ABO blood types are the largest group. A person can have A, B, AB, or O type. The O is considered the universal donor and the AB is the universal recipient. That means that O is the preferred blood type of a person that is donating blood because it can be transfused into any other blood type. The AB is the preferred recipient because they can receive any of the blood types and not reject the agglutinogens, which are the proteins on the outside of red blood cells.
How does ABO blood typing work?
in the ABO blood type, there are two main anitgens or agglutinogens, A and B. A type has the A antigen, B type B antigen, O none, and AB both the A and B antigen. Thus, O is a universal donor due to its lack of antigens and AB is a univeral reciepient due to the fact that it has both antigens. btw, antigens= complex sugar molecules attached to the membrane of RBCs
What is the part of the cell where agglutinogens are located?
cell membrane
Why is blood type O able to donate blood to all blood groups even though it contains anti-a and anti-b?
It is at least what i Have been told but it is because if somebody needs blood and they are not type O, type blood O would work for them. So if you have type A for an example and need blood type O would work.
