Study Notes
ABO Blood Typing
- ABO typing is a test used to determine an individual's blood group.
- The test involves mixing a blood sample with antibodies against type A and B blood.
- The blood sample is then checked for agglutination (clumping) of blood cells.
- If agglutination occurs, it indicates that the blood reacted with one of the antibodies, revealing the blood type.
