8) In addition to the ABO self-antigen system, another red blood cell self-antigen system is the Rh factor. The gene for this self=antigen system exhibits complete dominance with Rh positive (the presence of self-antigen Rh) being completely dominant over Rh negative (the absence of the self-antigen Rh). Rh positive is symbolized as + and Rh negative is symbolized as -. a. Geraldo has B- blood and Arline has O+ blood. Geraldo’s father has B+ blood and his mother has O- blood. Arline’s mother has O= blood and her father has A+ blood. Geraldo and Arline have a daughter, Elise. Using a Punnett square, what are the possible blood types for Elise? b. What is Geraldo’s genotype? c. What is Arline’s genotype?

1. Rh D-negative individuals generate an immune response when they are exposed to the Rh-D antigen. However, incompatibility in the ABO blood group system occurs naturally in the absence pf exposure to the A or B antigen in the blood from another individual.

4. Here is an immunoassay to measure the explosive trinitrotoluene (TNT) in soil. An organic solvent is used to extract TNT from the soil and then the solvent is analyzed using a flow cytometer. A flow cytometer is a device used to count small particles that flow through a narrow tube past a detector. The particles are irradiated with a green laser and the fluorescence from each particle is measured as it flows past the detector. Step 1. Antibodies that bind TNT are chemically attached to 5-μm latex beads. Step 2. The beads are incubated with fluorescent derivative of TNT to saturate the antibodies and excess TNT is washed away. The beads are suspended in aqueous detergent. Step 3. A volume of 5 μL of the suspension is added to 100 μL of sample or standard containing TNT. TNT in the sample displaces some of the fluorescent TNT. Step 4. An aliquot is injected into the flow cytometer, which measured the fluorescence of the individual beads as they pass by the detector. a) The figure…
