Antisera is blood serum containing antibodies against a specific antigen, used to treat or provide immunity to a disease. It is extracted from an animal that has immunity to a particular disease.

Serum is the fluid obtained when whole blood is separated into its solid and liquid components after it has been allowed to clot. It is clear and yellow in color.

Why is anti sera B yellow in color?

Anti-sera B is yellow in color due to the presence of a specific dye or indicator that is added to the solution during the manufacturing process. The dye is chosen to visually differentiate between different types of anti-sera, making it easier for laboratory technicians to identify and work with the correct reagent. The yellow color does not affect the functionality of the anti-sera but serves as a visual marker for quality control and proper usage.


Which components in Anti-a and Anti-B sera caused clumping?

Anti-A and Anti-B sera contain antibodies that recognize and bind to A and B antigens present on red blood cells. The clumping, or agglutination, occurs when these antibodies bind to their specific antigens on the RBCs, leading to cross-linking and formation of visible clumps.
