The blood type notation A Rh- indicates which antigens and antibodies are present in the blood. A indicates there are A antigens. Rh+ indicates there are Rh antigens. B antibodies. If there are A and Rh antigens but no B antigens, the antibodies in the blood plasma are B antibodies.
What else can I help you with?
Why can just any antibody attach to any antigen?
They must match. Just as you can't wear any shoe but your own size.
How can you find out what blood you are by using chromatography?
Chromatography can help identify blood type by separating the components of blood, such as red blood cells. By analyzing the separated components, the presence or absence of specific antigens can be determined to identify the blood type. The method involves using known antigen-antibody reactions to match the separated components to a specific blood type.
Can blood group O donate blood to a person of blood group B?
Provided the other bloodgroups match (e.g. rhesus antigen) then yes, of course.
Can husband give blood for his wife?
if they are the same blood type then of course. anyone can give blood to anyone if they match Yes, this is true. A husband CAN give blood to his wife if they are compatible blood types. HOWEVER, serious consideration must be given first if the wife is in her childbearing years. If a wife receives blood from her husband and then decides to have a baby, there are risks involved. Everyone inherits certain antigens in their blood. If a woman receives blood from her husband and he has an antigen that she DOES NOT have, her body will develop an antibody to it. If she then gets pregnant and the fetus inherits this same antigen from the father, the mother's antibody with attack it and cause destruction of the fetal blood cells. This may cause severe anemia for the fetus as well as severe jaundice and brain damage. The worst case scenario would obviously be the death of the fetus.
What is the Rh blood type?
People with different blood types have proteins specific to that blood type on the surfaces of their red blood cells (RBCs). Rh factor "Rhesus factor" is type of antigens on the human blood cell. The presence of this antigen in human blood given (+) besides it's blood type. The absence of this antigen is given (-) besides blood type. For example A- or A+.
How are antigens and antibodies involved in the bodys response to incompatible blood?
Antibodies are usually made in response to being exposed to an antigen. If you have had measles, then you have made antibodies to that antigen. Next time you are exposed, your body will fire up the antibodies and you will defeat the antigen (measles) quickly. You may feel some thing. You might say "I am coming down with something" but it will pass quickly.In RBC, the genetic make up of the blood gives antibodies for each type. These are already in the plasma. There are antigens on each type of RBC.1. Type A blood has antigen A on it's surface while antibody B is in the plasma. This person can be given A and a bad reaction will not occur as there is no antibody A in the plasma.2. Type B has antigen B and antibody A in the plasma. Type B blood can be given but not A.3. Type O has both antigens A and B and no antibodies for A or B. Only O can be given.4. Type AB has no antigens on it's surface and both antibodies A and B. Types O, B, A, and AB can be given.It is always desirable to give the same blood type. However, if it is very necessary, O can be given to all other blood types. It is called the universal donor.AB can take any other blood type and is called the universal recipient.To further complicate things RBCs also have an Rh factor and are called Rh+.If not they do not, they are Rh-. These also should match. However O- is the actual universal donor.
Can a Asiatic donors blood be used for a Caucasian blood transfusion?
It can if enough of the antigens (protein markers that determine blood type) match. If someone is O Negative and preferably negative on a few other antigen, then they are considered a universal donor.
What blood type do you need to be to donate organs?
Any, the recipient must be the same blood type as the donor.
How do you choose the appropriate secondary antibody for your experiment?
To choose the appropriate secondary antibody for your experiment, consider the primary antibody used, the species it was raised in, and the detection method. Match the secondary antibody to the species of the primary antibody and ensure it is compatible with the detection method being used. Conduct a thorough literature review and consult with colleagues or antibody suppliers for recommendations.
What happens if a person with O negative blood receives platelets from an O positive person?
The person with the O negative blood has an anti-RH antibody in their blood which will make the O positive platelets received coagulate (neutralizing it since the body sees the antigen RH as a foreign substance) which can cause severe problems depending on how much O positive blood is received.
How are anitbodies produced?
Antibodies are produced in response to antigens. An antigen can be anything foreign. You have markers on your cells that are self-markers. They say that you are you. You may be familare with the fact that you have a certain blood type. This is because of these markers on your red blood cells. They are called A, B, AB or O. As well as one called D (Rh- or Rh+). If you need a transfusion, you need a match or the antibodies that are already in the blood plasma will attack the transfused cells. When you need a new organ, your type must match as closely as possible to the donor or the organ will be rejected. If you have a splinter (an antigen), the body will fight it off and try to get rid of it. There are many examples like this.
When did Blood in the Water match happen?
Blood in the Water match happened in 1956.
