5
Q

antigen and antibodies

A
  • antigen- substances capable of stimulating an immune response -> some are bound to cell surface (surface antigens)
  • antibody- proteins that recognize and immobilize a specific antigen -> stimulate an immune response
  • when antibodies bind to erythrocytes surface antigens, this leads to agglutination (clumps of cells that can prevent normal blood circulation and/or cell rupture)
6
Q

blood types

A
  • receiving blood that isnt your blood type leads to agglutination
  • ABO blood type-
  • type A- specific surface antigen A -> produce anti-B antibodies -> type B binds and causes agglutination
  • type B- surface antigen B -> anti-A antibodies
  • type AB- surface antigens A and B -> they have no anti-A or anti-B -> universal acceptor
  • type O -> neither surface antigen A or B -> produces both anti-A and anti-B antibodies -> universal donor
7
Q

would we expect agglutination to occur in a type A person who receives a transfusion of type AB blood

A
  • yes

- type A has anti-B antibodies and AB blood has surface antigen B

8
Q

Rh

A
