ABO blood grouping was first discovered by Carl Landsteiner. This system is used to denote the presence of one, both, or neither of the A and B antigens on erythrocytes. In a humantransfusion, it is the most important of the 36 classification systems. A mismatched transfusion can cause serious potentially fatal adverse reactions. If an individual receives a mismatched transfusion of red blood cells with different antigens, it causes a transfusion reaction resulting in clumping, when antibodies bind to those cells. These cells are destroyed by releasing hemoglobin in the bloodstream, thus blocking blood vessels kidneys and other body organs.

Which, if any, of the following statements is incorrect?a) Each person makes many millions of different HLA proteins so as to be able to recognize and bind foreign antigens.b) Classical HLA proteins are highly polymorphic; non-classical HLA proteins show very limited polymorphism.c) Classical class I HLA proteins are displayed on the surface of very few cell types, notably immune system cells.d) HLA proteins are the most polymorphic human proteins.

A person with type A+ blood gets a transfusion with type O- blood. What is most likely to happen to the recipient? A) The recipient's blood will agglutinate (clump) due to the presence of natural antibodies in the recipient's blood. B) Nothing because the donor's blood is compatible with the recipient's blood. C) The recipient's blood will agglutinate (clump) due to the presence of natural antigens on the recipient's blood cells.

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
