Blood lab
Blood composition Plasma – fluid, gives volume contains antibodies Platelets – helps in clotting of blood White blood cells – used in defense against foreign invaders Red blood cells – carry oxygen Blood after it has been centrifuged
Blood Genetics THREE TWO FOUR SIX In blood type genetics*, there are: ____________ genes OR alleles that Produce ____________ blood proteins that Result in ____________ blood types that Establish ____________ genotypes THREE TWO FOUR SIX *See wkst #4
TERMS TO KNOW Protein- antigen (ag) or agglutinogens Antibodies- agglutinin- fight against foreign particles Coagulation: Blood clotting Agglutination: Blood clumping RBC = Red blood Cell
RBC Has Antigens
Blood Groups Are Based On RBC Antigens (Ag) ‘A’ Ag Rh+ Antigen
Blood Groups: B+ and B- ‘B’ Ag Rh+ Antigen
Blood Groups: AB+ and AB- ‘A’ Ag ‘B’ Ag Rh+ Antigen
Blood Groups: O+ and O- Rh+ Antigen
Plasma Has Antibodies http://www.lrc.arizona.edu/courses/mmiweb/lake/immunology_modules/hemagglutination/hema2.html
Remember RBC Has Antigens
Antibodies Can Bind To Antigens
Clumping of Blood
RBC Antigen (Agglutinogen) A B Plasma Antibodies (Agglutininins) Possible Genotypes: AA AO BB BO AB OO RBC Antigen (Agglutinogen) A B None Plasma Antibodies (Agglutininins) Anti – B Anti – A both Reaction with Anti – A YES Reaction with Anti – B NO YES NO NO YES YES NO

Rh Factor RR, Rr rr yes no anti Rh no Blood Type Positive Negative Genotype(s) Antigens (yes or no) Agglutinins (antibodies) RR, Rr rr yes no anti Rh no Moms that have Rh negative blood will have antibodies/ fight against a baby with the Rh protein (positive).
1st Baby Is Rh + ; Mom is Rh - Baby’s blood enters mom’s blood, transferring Rh+ Antigens to mom
1st Baby Is Rh +; Mom Is Rh - Mom Makes Antibodies against Rh+ Antigens In Her Blood
2nd Baby Is Also Rh + Mom’s Antibodies Attack The RBC’s In The 2nd Baby
Erythroblastosis Fetalis
Anti Rh + Antibodies (Rhogam)
Rhogam Destroys Rh + Antibodies In Mom
1st Baby Is Rh + Rhogam prevents Mom From Making Antibodies against Rh+ Antigens
2nd Baby Is Also Rh + With Rhogam, Mom’s Blood Does Not Attack The RBC’s In The 2nd Baby
Jaundice in Infants Complications Due to ABO Incompatibility Are Rare!
