Does anybody know what are the 4 blood types ?
Te four basic blood types are O, A, B and AB. They are named for the types of antigens they carry. O has no antigens, A has A antigens, B has B antigens and AB carries both.
How might a technique to remove A and B antigens from red blood cells be used to increase the supply of donated blood?
That would be extremely useful if it can be developed. There are four types of blood: AB, A, B, and O. They are classifed by the antigens that they have. Type O blood has no antigens but it does have anti-A and anti-B antibodies, so it can only accept type O blood (although since it has no antigens, it can give blood to anyone). Type A blood has A antigens and anti-B antibodies so it can't accept any blood with B antigens in it (such as type B or AB). Type B blood has anti-A antibodies and can't accept A or AB blood. Type AB has A antigens and B antigens so it can't donate to any other blood besides AB (although it can receive any type of blood). If everyone was type O blood, and didn't have any antigens, then every type of blood would be able to receive it because the antibodies wouldn't have any antigens to react with so it would be accepted by anyone.
What is the blood type that contains antigens a and b?
Type AB blood contains both A and B antigens. This allows the person to receive blood from types A, B, O, and AB.
What does it mean to have an ab blood type?
Blood can either be A, B, AB or O.This is differentiated by the antigen proteins on the cell. A has a antigens, b has b antigens, o has none, and AB has a and b antigens. You body also makes antibodies against what it doesn't have. So in your case, you have both and therefore dont create a or b antibodies. This makes you a universal acceptor. However, you can only donate to other AB people because if you give you blood to an A person, there body will attack the B antigens on your blood and same goes for B people.
Does type AB blood contains agglutinate A and B?
If the blood type is AB then the agglutinin would be O because agglutinin is what we do not have. Since the person has AB type blood, he/she does not have O type blood.
What are the A B AB and O blood groups distinguished by?
Blood types are distinguished by the type of antigen on the red blood cells. Type A has A antigens, type B has B antigens type AB has both antigens and type O has none.
What antigens are expressed if a person is blood type AB negative?
My daughter is AB negative , I am B positive and her dad it A negative
Antigens on red blood cells?
Type A blood has the A antigen and the Antibody anti- B Type B blood has the B antigen and the Antibody anti-a Type AB has antigens AB Type O blood has no antigens, and both the antibodies anti-a and anti-b AB is the universal receiver and O is the universal donor.
What kind of antibodies does type AB have?
Since that person has anti-B antibodies, then A antigens are present in her red blood cells. Since that person doesnt have anti-A antibodies, then there are no B antigens present, which means the person has A type blood.
What are antigens determining blood type carried on?
Antigens, by definition, cause the body to produce antibodies which act against them. You inherit certain antigens which are on your red blood cells. Sometimes these antigens are absent from your RBC. If you are type B, you have B antigens. Type A has A antigens, AB has AB antigens and type O has no antigens. If you are type AB, you can receive AB blood from some one else.
Which blood types in terms of the ABA and Rh antigens can be donated to somebody with type AB blood?
B+ here is a guide for you: type A - A antigens B antibodies; type B - B antigens A antibodies; Type AB - A&B antigens and no antibodies; type O - no antigens and A&B antibodies. for the rh you just have to add if it is + or -.
Which blood type has 2 different antigens on the surface of the red blood cell?
Blood type AB has both A and B antigens.
