What animal helped scientists discover Rh proteins in blood?
Sorry I dont know but by any chance are you in Tanglin Trust School Year 10?
Is blood type rh o negative rare?
RH negative is not very rare, and it is a blood grouping system not a type. Whether your blood is Rh or not depends on the D-antigen in your blood. Rh is the second most important blood grouping system after ABO.
Are there any blood types besides A B D and RH?
There are several different ways of 'grouping' blood. One system has blood groups A, B, AB and O. Another system is the rhesus grouping where a blood is classified as rhesus-positive or -negative; D and Rh are the same group. It is a combination of these 2 classificatons which is used most commonly. These are the most commonly known groups, but there are 28 additional systems that are recognised around the world.
Why can a person with rh- blood not receive rh plus blood?
The person with Rh- blood will begin to make antibodies against Rh+ upon exposure. This may not occur with the first transfusion - but it is still not recommended to give an Rh- person Rh+ blood.
What happens in the blood of an RH negative who is exposed to RH positive blood?
severe reaction, because rh-ve person can't get rh+ve blood.
What does Rh stands for?
Rh is an antigen. If you have the antigen, your blood type is A+, B+, AB+, or O+. If you don't have the antigen, your blood type is A-, B-, AB-, or O-. People WITH the Rh antigen, can receive from/give to people with Rh+ or Rh-. People WITHOUT the Rh antigen, can ONLY receive from/give to people with Rh- blood. (meaning people without the antigen) If Rh- and Rh+ blood comes in contact, the Rh- will produce antibodies towards Rh+, and at the second contact with the blood, will cause agglutination.
Is there blood banks in my area with rh blood?
Rh blood is the most complex genetically of all blood types. It is known that a mother who is pregnant and has Rh- and the father has Rh+, it can cause birth defects in the child. If you are recieving a blood transfusion though this does not apply. You can either recieve Rh- or Rh+. All blood types negative or positive all have Rh blood types in them. The problem you may be experiencing which may take you awhile to recieve blood is that you may have Rh- negative blood which means that you cannot recieve Rh-negative or Rh+negative, and you can only recieve Rh- negative, but yes all blood banks will carry Rh blood, this type of blood though may be more common in different types of people though.
Is there a difference between Rh neg blood group and a B neg blood group?
RH- and RH+ are not blood types, they are factors.
If you have Rh negative blood type do you need to get TB testing?
Whether you have Rh Negative blood or Rh Positive blood has nothing to do with getting a TB test. TB testing should be done at least once a year which will show whether or not you have been exposed to Tuberculosis.
Difference Between blood group A plus ve and A-ve?
Rh factor or rehsus factor is also involved in blood groups. either a person is Rh+ or Rh- if u are A+ then u have blood group A and you are Rh+ if you are A- then you have blood group A and you are Rh-
Why cant a woman that is rh negative donate blood?
This not entirely true while an Rh- person can not receive Rh+ blood due to the fact as stated above an Rh+ person can receive Rh- blood because there is no Rh in the blood. This is why O- people are universal donors meaning they are able to give blood to anyone, but can only receive 0- blood.
What are the different types of Rh blood types?
There are two types of Rh blood type, a Rh + and a Rh -ve, they are useful in surgery so blood type can be matched. Especially in pregnancy it is beneficial for mother and child to have the same Rh blood type.
