Blood typing was established around the 1920's wherein scientists were able to distinguish one blood type from another. And as with DNA, a child's blood type is a combination of that of his/her parents. Your blood type is determined by proteins in your red blood cells known as ABO antigens. These antigens are the reason that you must have a specific type of blood during a transfusion and also limit the blood type outcomes for offspring. Using this logic, it is therefore possible to exclude potential fathers if their blood type doesn't match. For example, if a mother's blood is Type B and the child's blood is Type AB, then the father must have Type A or Type AB. A man with Type O blood then could not be the father and would be excluded. Obviously blood typing alone cannot establish paternity since unlike DNA, blood types are not individually unique. It does however, allow a specialist to narrow down the list of putative fathers by excluding up to 30% of potential candidates.
Blood typing procedure wherein the antibodies are determined rather than the Antigen (Direct Typing). Uses pool A cells and pool B cells.
To identify your blood group using a blood typing kit, first, gather the kit, which typically contains blood typing sera and reaction tiles. Begin by placing a small drop of your blood sample on designated areas of the reaction tile. Then, add a drop of the corresponding typing serum to each blood sample drop. Gently mix and observe the reactions for agglutination, which indicates the presence of specific antigens and helps determine your blood group.
Karl Landsteiner, an Austrian biologist, is credited with discovering the basics of blood typing in 1901. His work on identifying blood groups laid the foundation for safe blood transfusions.
How many phenotypes exist for this mrthod of blood typing
Simulated blood typing activities mimic the process of determining blood type by testing for specific antigens and antibodies present in the blood, much like in actual human blood typing. Both involve mixing blood samples with known antibodies or antigens to observe reactions and determine blood type. This allows for practice and understanding of the principles involved in blood typing without the need for real blood samples.
Well you have to do blood typing.
No. Blood typing is figuring out what blood type you are, such as A, B, O, etc. You must first give a sample of your blood and it can be typed in a lab.

Typing sera are specialized serum solutions used in blood typing to determine an individual's blood group. They contain specific antibodies that react with antigens present on the surface of red blood cells. When mixed with a blood sample, the presence or absence of agglutination indicates the blood type, helping to ensure safe blood transfusions and organ transplants. Commonly used in laboratories, typing sera help identify ABO and Rh blood groups.
blood transfusion :)
They're not, they are blood typing.
In1915, Leone Lattes, an Italian forensic serologist, developed a (reliable method) for determining the blood group of dried blood samples.
