DESCRIPTION
Blood Type (ABO). The Function of Antibodies. Our bodies make antibodies to protect us from “foreign” molecular species. Persons with A-antigens produce B-antibodies (Anti-B) but not A-antibodies (Anti-A) since A-antigens are natural in their system. . The Function of Antibodies. - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT

The Function of Antibodies• Our bodies make antibodies to protect us from
“foreign” molecular species.
• Persons with A-antigens produce B-antibodies (Anti-B) but not A-antibodies (Anti-A) since A-antigens are natural in their system.

The Function of Antibodies• Likewise, persons with B-antigens produce A-
antibodies (Anti-A) but not B-antibodies (Anti-B) since B-antigens are natural in their system.

The Function of Antibodies• Persons with A-antigens and B-antigens do not
produce A-antibodies (Anti-A) nor B-antibodies (Anti-B) since both occur naturally in their system.

Agglutination• The clumping process that takes place when
RBCs containing a particular antigen (A or B) are mixed with serum containing the antibody specific for that antigen.
• The serum containing the antibody is called antiserum.

AB AB Neither anti-A or anti-B
O Neither A nor B
Both anti-A and anti-B

Blood Group Distribution in the United States
• 43% O• 42% A• 12% B• 3% AB

Other RBC Antigens• There are more than 15 known RBC antigens
systems.
• The A-B-O system is commonly used in blood typing.
• The Rh system is also used for blood types.

The Rh System• Based on the Rh factor or D antigen.
• A person whose RBCs have the D antigen is said to be Rh positive.
• Likewise, a person whose RBCs do not have the D antigen is said to be Rh negative.

Antiserum A, B, and Rh are Added to a Blood Sample
• No agglutination is occurring.
