What else can I help you with?
If the anti-A antibody causes blood to coagulate which antigen would be present on the red blood cells?
a
What is d negative blood?
It is the equivalent to Rh negative blood. D is the antigen present on commonly termed Rh+ red cells, and the D antigen is missing on D-negative blood.
Why can type A blood receive A O blood?
A person who is type A has naturally occurring anti-B in their circulation. Type A and type O blood do not have B antigen on the red cells. Type B and AB do have B antigen present on the red cells and so the anti-B in circulation of the type A person will attack the cells.
Which of the following is not an antigen that may be found on the surface of an erythrocyte a A antigen b B antigen c O antigen d Rh antigen?
The O antigen is not an antigen that may be found on the surface of an erythrocyte. A and B antigens are present in the ABO blood group system, while the Rh antigen is part of the Rh blood group system. O blood type individuals lack A and B antigens on their red blood cells.
Why can blood type A only receive A or O?
A person who is type A has naturally occurring anti-B in their circulation. Type A and type O blood do not have B antigen on the red cells. Type B and AB do have B antigen present on the red cells and so the anti-B in circulation of the type A person will attack the cells.
What is the medical term for no antigen blood?
Red blood cells with an antigen on their surface are said to be Rh positive, Rh+. Rh negative, or Rh-, do nothave the surface antigen.
Hemagglutination-inhibition test description?
It is the measures of the ability of soluble antigen to inhibit the agglutination of antigen-coated red blood cells by antibodies. In this test, a fixed amount of antibodies to the antigen in question is mixed with a fixed amount of red blood cells coated with the antigen (research on passive hemagglutination). Also included in the mixture are different amounts of the sample to be analyzed for the presence of the antigen. If the sample contains the antigen, the soluble antigen will compete with the antigen coated on the red blood cells for binding to the antibodies, thereby inhibiting the agglutination of the red blood cells.
What is the blood component filtered out by the spleen?
the aged red blood cells and antigen-antibody complex
What are the blood types in terms of antigens and antibodies?
There are four main blood types: A, B, AB, and O. These blood types are determined by the presence or absence of A and B antigens on the surface of red blood cells. Antibodies in the plasma target the antigens not present on the individual's own red blood cells.
Which antigen is being destroyed by proteolytic enzyme treatment of red cells?
Proteolytic enzyme treatment of red cells destroys A and B antigens, which are present on the surface of red blood cells. This process is often used to convert group AB red cells into group O red cells for safe transfusion to patients with severe blood type mismatches.
What do type O negative and type AB positive blood have in common?
Type O NEG is the universal red cell donor AB POS is the universal red cell recipient Type O is the universal recipient for plasma AB is the universal donor for plasma Type O NEG is characterized by the lack of ABO and D antigen on the red cells. AB POS has every AB/D antigen present on the red cells. You may find some sort of commonality in there...although it's mostly opposites.
What does not serve as an antigen-presenting cell?
Red blood cells do not serve as antigen-presenting cells. Antigen-presenting cells include dendritic cells, macrophages, and B cells, which play a crucial role in initiating immune responses by presenting antigens to T cells.
