IMMUNOLOGY OF ABO AND RH BLOOD TYPES
EACH BLOOD TYPE IS NAMED ACCORDING TO THE ANTIGENS ON ITS SURFACE
EACH BLOOD TYPE PRODUCES ANTIBODIES AGAINST ANY ANTIGEN IT DOES NOT POSSESS – AGAINST ANY ANTIGEN THAT IS FOREIGN
WHEN INCOMPATIBLE BLOOD TYPES ARE MIXED, A DANGEROUS CONDITION RESULTS CALLED AGGLUTINATION
THERE ARE THREE MAJOR ANTIGENS ON THE SURFACE OF RED BLOOD CELLS
- A ANTIGEN - B ANTIGEN RH ANTIGEN
LIKEWISE THERE ARE THREE IMPORTANT ANTIBODY TYPES PRODUCED AGAINST EACH OF THE THREE ANTIGENS
ANTIBODIES ANTI - A ANTI - B ANTI - RH
TYPE A- BLOOD CONTAINS A ANTIGEN MAKES ANTIBODIES AGAINST B BLOOD – ANTI-B & RH FACTOR
TYPE B+ BLOOD MAKES B ANTIGEN MAKES RH ANTIGEN MAKES ANTIBODIES AGAINST A BLOOD – ANTI -A
TYPE AB- BLOOD CONTAINS BOTH A AND B ANTIGENS MAKES NEITHER ANTI-A OR ANTI-B BOTH ARE SELF PROTEINS MAKES ANTI –RH ANTIBODIES
TYPE O- BLOOD NEITHERCONTAINS NEITHER A NOR B NOR RH ANTIGENS MAKES ANTI-A AND ANTI-B AND ANTI –RH ANTIBODIES
TYPE A+ BLOOD CAN GIVE BLOOD TO …… CAN RECEIVE BLOOD FROM….
