Type A blood with A antigens will coagulate (agglutinate) when they come in contact with anti-A serum (antibodies), but produce anti-B antibodies in a living person, so will not coagulate with anti-B serum. Type B blood with B antigens will coagulate (agglutinate) when they come in contact with anti-B serum (antibodies), but produce anti-A antibodies in a living person, so will not coagulate with anti-A serum. Type AB blood has both A and B antigens, and will coagulate (agglutinate) when they come in contact with either anti-A or anti-B serum (antibodies). These individuals do not produce anti-A or anti-B antibodies. Type O blood produces both anti-A and anti-B antibodies, so it will not coagulate with Anti-A or Anti-B Serum.

In terms of antigens and antibodies, explain why O- is considered a universal donor and why AB+ is considered a universal recipient. Even so, why can’t whole blood O- be donated to a person of type AB+ blood?
Vanad Patel arrived unconscious by ambulance at the emergency room following a motorcycle accident. He had severe injuries including a compound fracture of his tibia and needed immediate surgery and a blood transfusion. Routine blood-group typing categorized him as O+ because his red blood cells showed no reaction with anti-A or anti-B antibodies. But cross-matching with the different bags of O blood in the blood bank showed cross-reactivity or incompatibility with them all. The blood-bank staff reported that the patient had a rare blood type called the Bombay blood group. His twin brother Nadeesh, who arrived at the emergency room within hours of the family being notified, donated the blood his brother needed. It was recommended that he and his brother wear medical alert bracelets in case they need emergency blood transfusions in a situation where thorough cross-matching is not possible. Which of the following is consistent with the Bombay phenotype? a. The Bombay phenotype results…
In type AB blood there are anti-A and anti-b antibodies. TRUE or false
Apart from suffering from recurrent and prolonged infections, Marie Curie also experienced the following signs and symptoms: fatigue, rapid heart rate, pale skin, easy bruising, prolonged bleeding from cuts, and dizziness. Bone marrow transplant was not an option at that time and so blood transfusion was the treatment of choice. Explain the reasoning behind these other signs and symptoms that Curie experienced. Assume her blood group was A negative. Which blood groups can she receive? Which blood groups can she not receive? Explain why.
Many antibodies exhibit dosage, discuss the antibodies that exhibit dosage and how it is demonstrated in heterozygous/homozygous cells. Additionally, in some cases, if an antibody is just starting to develop, it may not react with a heterozygous cell, discuss the reasons for this.
About the three following diseases: phenylketonuria (PKU), sever combined immuno-deficiency (SCID), and familial hypercholesterolemia (FHC), in what way are these three diseases similar? And, what is “broken” in each of them?
How would you have to modify the diagram of IgG to depict serum IgM?
An example of dosage as it applies to blood group antigens is: Question 2 options: Every antibody specificity will react with cells with a homozygous expression Some antibody specificities may only react with an antigen with homozygous expression Some antibody specificities may only react with an antigen with homozygous expression Every antibody specificity will react with cells with a heterozygous expression
Why does the "rule of three" not applicable to non-normocytic and non-normochromic red blood cells?
If the anti-A, anti-B, and anti-Rh solutions all clump in your blood typing test, you are a. O- b. O+ c. AB- d. AB+
The immunoglobulin molecules of a particular mammalian species have kappa and lambda light chains and heavy chains. The kappa gene consists of 250 V and 8 J segments. The lambda gene contains 200 V and 4 J segments. The gene for the heavy chain consists of 300 V, 8 J, and 4 D segments. If just somatic recombination and random combinations of light and heavy chains are taken into consideration, how many different types of antibodies can be produced by this species?
In (b), why would it be more efficient to use labeled anti-human IgG rather than label the patient’s antibodies?
