    Study Notes

    Blood Typing Overview

    • Over 20 blood group classification systems exist; the ABO and Rhesus (Rh) systems are crucial for transfusions.
    • ABO system was discovered by Karl Landsteiner in 1901.
    • Four types in the ABO system: A, B, AB, and O.

    ABO Blood Group System

    • Blood typing categorizes blood based on antigens on red blood cells (RBCs) and corresponding antibodies in plasma.
    • Group A: A antigens on RBCs, anti-B antibodies in plasma.
    • Group B: B antigens on RBCs, anti-A antibodies in plasma.
    • Group AB: Both A and B antigens, no antibodies.
    • Group O: No antigens, both anti-A and anti-B antibodies.

    Antigen and Antibody Interaction

    • Blood compatibility is critical; mixing incompatible types causes agglutination (clumping), which can be dangerous.
    • Individuals have natural antibodies against absent ABO antigens (e.g., group A has anti-B antibodies).

    Genotypes and Blood Groups

    • Group A: Genotype AA or AO.
    • Group B: Genotype BB or BO.
    • Group AB: Genotype AB.
    • Group O: Genotype OO.

    Blood Donation and Reception

    • Blood group O: Universal donor.
    • Blood group AB: Universal receiver.
    • Blood compatibility table indicates which types can donate to and receive from each other.

    Rhesus (Rh) System

    • Discovered by Landsteiner and Weiner in 1940; Rh antigens are present in most humans.
    • Rh positive (+): Presence of Rh factor.
    • Rh negative (-): Absence of Rh factor.
    • Rh antibodies develop through exposure, not naturally present at birth.

    Rh Compatibility and Transfusions

    • Rh negative individuals develop antibodies only if exposed to Rh positive blood or if carrying an Rh positive fetus.
    • Compatibility in transfusions is crucial for patient safety.

    Blood Typing Procedure

    • Agglutination tests determine blood type using blood sera (Anti-A, Anti-B, Anti-D).
    • Method involves mixing blood with antisera and observing for clumping under a microscope.
    • Agglutination patterns reveal specific blood types (A, B, AB, O, and Rh status).

    Materials Required for Blood Typing

    • Blood group sera (Anti-A, Anti-B, Anti-D), blood group slides, lancets, alcohol swabs, viewing box, glass rods, and microscope.

    Test Interpretation

    • Agglutination with Anti A indicates type A.
    • Agglutination with Anti B indicates type B.
    • Agglutination with both indicates type AB.
    • No agglutination with both indicates type O.
    • Agglutination with Anti D indicates Rh positive; absence indicates Rh negative.
