Let’s say a 16 year old boy with Type O- blood is involved in a motor vehicle accident and is in desperate need of blood. He has Type O- blood. His RBC’s don’t have any proteins on their surface. But remember we said that our bodies have antibodies or ammunition against the proteins that are not our own. So, his blood contains antibodies against A proteins, B proteins, and the Rh factor. We don’t want his body to adversely react with the donor’s blood. If his body attacks the transfused blood cells, the transfusion would be null and void. So, in this case, it would only be safe to give the patient Type O-blood. This example illustrates why the patient could only receive Type O blood because (point to slide) his blood would clump with
There are four blood types found in humans. These are A blood type which has the genotype either AA or AO, B blood type which has the genotype either BB or BO, AB blood type which has the genotype AB, and O blood type which has the genotype OO. These genotypes show a combination of complete dominance and codominance. A and B traits are dominant to the recessive O trait, however, the A trait is codominant to the B trait. Each blood type codes for certain antigens. A blood codes for the A surface antigen, B blood codes for the B surface antigen, AB blood codes for both the A and B surface antigen, and O blood does not code for a surface antigen. Therefore to determine one’s blood type a test can be performed
To explain the ABO and Rh blood groups and to identify the universal donor and the universal acceptor (recipient).
Because white blood cells in the body do not last very long because they will be constantly used up fighting his already present infections and because his body does not create these antibodies he will need these transfusion to place them back into his body.
A 13 year old is studying blood in school, and has asked some questions that haven't been answered in class. I will answer
Since, the patient’s blood type is B+, he can safe and sound receive blood types B+, B-, O+, and O-. The blood types B+, B-, O+, and O- are well-matched with this patient Type B+, and supported with the point that he merely has the B antigen on red blood cells and an A antibody in the plasma. In the case of where the person has blood group O means that the person has neither A nor B antigens on red cells
The Oxyglobin and Hemopure substitutes developed by Biopure have an advantage over blood transfusions in many areas including blood type matching, universality in terms of donating, such as O+ blood recipients. The blood substitutes also had a much longer storage life of 2 years as opposed to the 6-week storage life of transfused blood. Furthermore, with the rise of diseases such as AIDS and increasing public concern about the same, blood substitutes also helped mitigate that risk. Baxter International and Northfield Laboratories-products sourced their blood substitutes from human blood whereas, Biopure sourced it from animal blood, cattle in particular. This put them in a better position than their competitors. Also Biopure’s Hemopure and Oxyglobin did not require refrigeration unlike its competitor’s products.
Blood typing is a way to identify and match blood samples. Three separate tests are performed. The patient 's blood is mixed with antibodies that bind to the A protein. If the patient 's blood clumps or agglutinates, that means that the person 's blood contains protein A. If the blood being tested does not react with the antibodies that bind the A protein, then that person 's blood does not contain protein A. Similar testing
The purpose of this experiment is to identify the different blood types through the antigen and antibody reaction by using the anti- A, Anti- B and Anti- Rh serums we will be able to identify the different blood types. We will also discuss how this can be used in the clinical setting of this blood typing procedure, by doing so we will know how antigens and antibodies relate to the blood typing procedure in the real world settings.
Antibodies and antigens in the blood are looked at to find blood type. “Blood also contains proteins called antigens, but antibodies only attach to foreign antigens” (Rohrig 4). Antibodies are proteins in the human body that keeps us healthy. If they recognize a foreign substance, such as an infection, they attack it to keep the sickness out. Antibodies are chemical components that make up the blood. Antibodies are similar to white blood cells, they do the same job but antibodies are a protein. “Some people have only A antigens on their red blood cells some have only B, some have both A and B and some have none, making these people’s blood types A, B, AB, and O” (Rohrig 4). Antigens are another chemical component of the blood that determines a person's blood type. Looking at the blood type and chemical components of the blood requires chemistry. Chemistry is related to the forensics of blood by blood
“We could give you your own blood back,” Daley said. There would be no risk of rejection by the immune system, and therefore no reason to suppress it. This way the body would continue to be able to protect itself after a transplant of any kind.
Blood typing is a vital part of saving lives. People who have lost blood in any way will most likely need a blood transfusion. If the wrong type of blood is administered into their system, that person’s body will reject the new blood and the person will die. However, by knowing what antigens and antibodies are in a certain type of blood, the transfusion can be matched to the patient’s blood, which will lead to a safe, effective transfusion.Therefore, knowing what antigens and antibodies are in a person’s blood and what their blood type is can be a vital part of saving their life one day. For this reason, it is vital to know how antibodies affect blood typing.
different types of blood in humans. This leads to the thought that the safety of
A transfusion is a plain medical procedure that doctors use to make up for a loss of blood or any part of blood, corresponding to red blood cells or platelets. It’s usually not the whole blood; it could be any one of the components. Likewise in chemotherapy, it can affect how bone marrow makes new blood cells. So the treatment procedure of the cancer might need transfusion of platelets or maybe red blood cells. But others might need only some components of plasma. Like in the case of hemophilia, the disease affects the blood’s ability to clot. Precisely it needs some part of the plasma that has the factors in clotting, to help their blood clot and also to prevent internal bleeding (Rupal Christine Gupta, 2015).
The other type of artificial blood is more of a blood substitute as it is derived from either outdated bovine or human red blood cells. It is known as Hemoglobin Based Oxygen Carriers (HBOC), Hemoglobin which is the oxygen carrying protein molecule found in red blood cells is extracted from the obsolete red blood cells through ultrafiltration and purification. The Hemoglobin must undergo specific processes in an attempt to prevent the Hemoglobin from disassociating from its natural four-chain configuration (Fridey 3). There is numerous methods of chemically altering the Hemoglobin to increase the molecules size so it does not dissociate and break down. The two main processes of enlarging the
Now that you know about blood and its responsibility in the body have you figured out what kind you have? Probably not, that's what scientist are here for, they can tell you. Blood typing helps with many things, like when you are sick you can get someone elses blood. Your blood works hard to keep you from getting sick and tries to destroy tumors. your blood helps regulate the oxygen in it and around the body.
