Study Notes
Blood Types and Immune Response
- Incompatible blood transfusion triggers an immune response causing agglutination.
Blood Type Characteristics
- Blood type AB has both A and B antigens.
Antibodies in Blood Types
- Type A blood has antibodies against B antigens.
Erythrocyte Antigens
- There are numerous erythrocyte antigens, but only a few are clinically significant.
Rh Blood Group Significance
- The Rh blood group is crucial because it can cause a severe reaction, even anemia in newborns, if an Rh-negative mother is sensitized by an Rh-positive fetus.
