If the anti-A antibody causes blood to coagulate which antigen would be present on the red blood cells?
a
What Red blood cell antigen named after the rhesus monkey?
The red blood cell antigen named after the rhesus monkey is the Rh factor or Rh antigen. It is an important antigen in blood transfusions and plays a role in hemolytic diseases of the newborn when an Rh-negative mother carries an Rh-positive fetus.
What doe the word heterozygous mean in terms of red cell antigen typing?
Heterozygous in red cell antigen typing means that an individual possesses two different alleles for a specific blood group antigen on their red blood cells. This is in contrast to homozygous, where an individual carries two identical alleles for a particular blood group antigen.
What is a sensitized sheep red blood cell?
A sensitized sheep red blood cell is a red blood cell that has been coated with antibodies specific for a particular antigen. These sensitized cells are commonly used in immunology tests like hemagglutination assays to detect the presence of specific antibodies or antigens in a sample.
What happence when an antigen on a red blood cell comes in contact with the antibody designed to seek it out?
The antibody is killed off, and the antigen spreads
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.
What determines a persons blood type and stimulate antibody formation?
The antigen contained in the red cell
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.
Explain briefly the contents of the Landsteiner's rule of reciprocity?
Landsteiner's rule states that when an antigen is on a red blood cell, the corresponding antibody is never present simultaneously. Instead, the reciprocal red cell antigen is present in the plasma or serum.(Ex. A type A individual has anti-B in their serum.)
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 structure is present in all of these cell expect red blood cell?
Mammalian red blood cells do not contain a nucleus.
What blood cell collects hemoglobin?
Hemoglobin is present in red blood cells.
