ABO groups

Testing for the presence of A and B antigens on RBCs is the most important
system for classifying blood:

* Type A blood has A antigen on its surface.

* Type B blood has B antigen.

* Type AB blood has both A and B antigens.

* Type 0 blood has neither A nor B antigen

Opposites don't attract: Plasma may contain antibodies that interact with these
antigens, causing the cells to agglutinate, or combine into a mass.

However, plasma can't contain antibodies to its own cell antigen or it would
destroy itself. Thus, type A blood has A antigen but no A antibodies, although it
does have B antibodies.

Making a match: Precise blood-- typing and crossmatching (mixing and
observing for agglutination of donor cells) are essential, especially for blood
transfusions. A donor's blood must be compatible with a recipient's or the result
can be fatal. The following blood groups are compatible:




5

type A with type A or O

type B with type B or O

type AB with type A, B, AB, or O

type O with type only.

Rh typing

Rh typing determines whether the

Rh factor is present or absent in the blood. Of the types of Rh antigens, only C,
D, and E are common.
Positive and negative types: Typically, blood contains the Rh antigen.
Blood with the Rh antigen is Rh-- positive; blood without the Rh antigen is Rh-
negative. Anti-Rh antibodies can appear only in a person who has becomed
sensitized. Anti-Rh antibodies can appear in the blood of an Rh-- negative
person after entry of Rh-- positive RBCs in the bloodstream; for example, from
transfusion of Rh-- positive blood. An Rh-negative female who carries an Rh-
positive fetus may also acquire anti-Rh antibodies.
Blood types are easy to remember because they're named after the antigens
they contain-A, B, or both A and Bexcept for type O, which contains neither. The
O serves as a nice visual reminder of that absence.
