relation of complexity of antigen and stimulation

Answer 4

directly related

Question 13

type A has what antigen?

Answer 13

A

Question 14

Answer 14

B

Question 15

Type AB has what antigen?

Answer 15

A and B

Question 16

Type O has what antigen?

Answer 16

None

Question 17

type A has what antibody

Answer 17

B

Question 18

type B has what antibody?

Answer 18

A

Question 19

Type AB has what antibody

Answer 19

None

Question 20

Type O has what antibody

Answer 20

A and B

Question 21

what is responsible for the specificity of the blood?

responsible for the H specificity

1 infection with Proteus mirabilis | 2 Tn activated erythrocytes

Question 25

immunodominant sugar responsible for B specificity

Answer 25

D-Galactose

Question 26

Acquired B happens when

Answer 26

1 infection with Proteus vulgaris 2 Ca of colon 3 intestinal obstruction 4 E coli O86 infection

Question 27

it is required to produce either A or B antigen

Answer 27

H antigen

Question 28

phenotype that does not produce H antigen

Answer 28

hh (Bombay phenotype) produce anti-H antibodies

Question 29

most common and mist antigenic Type A

Answer 29

A1

Question 30

differentiate A1 and A2

Answer 30

antisera specific for A1 Ag (anti-A1 lectin) prepared from seed Dolichos biflorus

Question 31

Null phenotypes?

Answer 31

Bombay (Oh) No A, B or H antigenon red cells & secretions With anti-A, anti-B & anti-H in their sera Para- Bombay Absent or trace A, B, H Ag
