Study Notes
Blood Type Classification
- Blood type is classified based on the presence or absence of specific antigens on the surface of red blood cells.
- Antigens on the surface of red blood cells may be proteins, carbohydrates, glycoproteins, or glycolipids, depending on the blood group system.
Rh Blood Type
- Individuals with Rh- blood lack the Rh antigen on their red blood cells.
- Individuals with Rh+ blood have the Rh antigen on their red blood cells.
- If an Rh- individual receives blood from an Rh+ individual, their immune system may produce antibodies against the Rh antigen, leading to an adverse reaction.
Natural Status of Rh Antibodies
- Rh+ individuals do not naturally have Rh antibodies in their plasma.
- Rh- individuals do not naturally have Rh antibodies in their plasma, but they can develop them after exposure to Rh+ blood.
Blood Type Classification Systems
- The ABO blood group system is based on the presence of A and B antigens on the surface of red blood cells.
- The Rh blood group system is based on the presence of the Rh antigen on the surface of red blood cells.
- An individual who naturally lacks Rh antigens on their red blood cells has an Rh- blood type.
Immune Response
- Rh- individuals can develop Rh antibodies in their plasma after exposure to Rh+ blood.
- Rh- individuals naturally have anti-Rh antibodies in their plasma.
