Body Fluids Forensic Serology

Blood A complex mixture of cells, enzymes, proteins & inorganic substances Fluid portion of blood is called the plasma (55% of blood content) Primarily water Red cells (erythrocytes) White cells (leukocytes) Platelets

What makes up our blood? RED BLOOD CELLS (Erythrocytes) – The most abundant cells in our blood; they are produced in the bone marrow and contain a protein called hemoglobin that carries oxygen to our cells. WHITE BLOOD CELLS (Leukocytes) – They are part of the immune system and destroy infectious agents called pathogens. PLASMA – This is the yellowish liquid portion of blood that contains electrolytes, nutrients and vitamins, hormones, clotting factors, and proteins such as antibodies to fight infection. PLATELETS (Thrombocytes) – The clotting factors that are carried in the plasma; they clot together in a process called coagulation to seal a wound and prevent a loss of blood.

Blood Facts The average adult has about FIVE liters of blood inside of their body, which makes up 7-8% of their body weight. Blood is living tissue that carries oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body, and carries carbon dioxide and other waste products back to the lungs, kidneys and liver for disposal. It also fights against infection and helps heal wounds, so we can stay healthy. There are about one billion red blood cells in two to three drops of blood. For every 600 red blood cells, there are about 40 platelets and one white cell. http://www.bloodbankofalaska.org/about_blood/index.html

What is Serology? Serology is the examination of body fluids Blood, saliva, seminal fluid, vaginal secretions, urine, feces, and even tissues and organs Majority of evidence is blood and body fluids from sexual assault cases

What is Serology? By definition, serology is a term which describes laboratory tests which employ a specific antigen and serum antibody reactions Biological approach… Serology is often coupled with blood spatter/pattern analysis Physics approach…
