Select all the statements below that are true regarding hemolytic disease of the newborn. If a mother is Rh- and becomes sensitized with anti-Rh antibodies, all subsequent children will be affected Hemolytic disease of the newborn can only occur if the mother is Rh-. If an Rh- mother becomes sensitized, only her subsequent children with Rh+ blood will be affected If a mother is Rh- and her first child is Rh+, the child's RBCS will be attacked by the mother's antibodies.

Fill in the blank: Of the antigens in the Rh group, the most important is _______________________.
Below are the ABO and Rh blood types of some couples. If during birth some blood is exchaged between the mother and the first newborn, the second newborn of which couple has the LEAST chance for suffering from hemolytic disease of the newborn due to Rh incompatibility? Consider both Rh and ABO incompatibilities. A. Wife B -, husband O + B. Wife AB -, husband AB + C. Wife AB -, husband O+ D. Wife O -, husband B + E. Wife A -, husband O+
Even though instances of fetal, maternal ABO, incompatibility are common, severe hemolytic disease due to ABO incompatibility is rare. Which of the following best explains this difference? A) ABO incompatibility causes extensive extra medullary hematopoiesis B) antibodies against ABO antigens do not bind complement C) the maternal immune system is tolerant to ABO ANTIGENS D) most anti- A or anti- B antibodies are of IgM type and do not cross the placenta E) the presence of concurrent Rh incompatibility decreases the immunogenicity of erythrocytes
Why is it that Rh incompatibility can be a serious problem when anRh-negative mother is carrying an Rh-positive fetus, but ABOincompatibility between mother and fetus is usually no problem?That is, a type A mother can usually safely carry a type B fetus.(Hint: The antibodies produced by an Rh-negative mother againstthe Rh antigen are usually IgG, whereas the antibodies producedagainst the A or B antigens are IgM.) Because the Rh antigenobviously serves no vital function (most humans lack it), why do youthink it hasn’t been completely eliminated during human evolution?
why are the children of Rh positive mothers not at risk for this erythroblastosis fetalis
list all of the blood types to which the following people could donate assuming the recipients have been exposed to Rh antigens: Donor 1 :type A Donor 2:type O+ Donor3:type AB+ Donor 4: type B-
LIST OF THE BLOOD TYPES FROM WHICH THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE COULD RECEIVE, ASSUMING THE RECIPIENTS HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO Rh antigens: Recipient:type O+ Recipient: Type B+ Recipient: type A- Recipient: type AB-
How is Rh incompatibility involved in hemolytic disease of the newborn? Is the mother Rh+ or Rh-? Is the fetus Rh+ or Rh-? Why is a second child that is Rh+ more susceptible to attack from the mother’s immune system.
Fill in the blank: An Rh-negative woman, who might be carrying an _______________________ fetus, is given an injection ofRhoGAM to prevent erythroblastosis fetalis.
If the thymus of an adult experimental animal is removed, the following observations can be made: (a) No immediate effect occurs, and (b) after 1 year, decreases occur in the number of lymphocytes in the blood, the ability to reject grafts, and the ability to produce antibodies. Explain these observations.
Briefly explain the significance of RH factor. Why mother with Rh negative blood should receive RhoGAM shot? What type of antibodies would be produced in this case? Why there is no universal donor anymore? What type of blood you can transfuse if patient has type A- blood?
Explain the difference between anti-A/anti-B antibodies and anti-Rh antibodies in terms of their presence in the plasma of individuals.
