Blood Groups

Prepared by Mr.Yeung

BIO30S


Blood types were discovered…

Discovered by Karl Landsteiner Won Nobel Prize 1930 Why is finding out your

blood type important?

But now …

How did he discover them?


What he did…

He had a bunch of different vials of blood

1 2 3 4

And then he just mixed them together


Like so…

1 2

It CLUMPED!

What about?

2 4

It CLUMPED too!


So… what do you think..?

1 3

No Clumping eh?

1 4

What about…?

What the?? CLUMPING?


So what do we have?

We have some that clump. And some that don’t clump.

1 2 3 4


What he found was…

Clumping was due to an immune response caused by antibodies

There were antibodies that were specific to some certain type of blood, which caused the clumping

He then found out the antigens (A & B) on the surface of the red blood cells stimulated the antibody response

He classified the 4 blood types A, B, AB, O


So what he found was

OB ABA

Antigens

Antibody

No antigens for antibodies to bind

Either one can bind



Antigens on the surface of red blood cells.

Antibodies that were specific to the antigens

The combination of both causes CLUMPING! Or agglutination


Blood types

What does it mean to have different blood types? Defined by the type of antigens (foreign stuff

or anything that triggers WBC to take action) attached

If I have type A blood, I have “A” antigen If I have type B blood, I have “B” antigen If I have type AB blood, I have both“A + B”

antigen If I have type O blood, I have No antigen


Blood types

Other than the antigens (bad guys that cause an immune response (antibodies to take action)

You also have antibodies (good guys – seeks out the antigens)

The antibody acts as “special police” in our blood stream and binds on to anything that they are specific to.

So an antibody B will stop and bind to B antigens and antibody A will stop and bind to A antigens



OB ABA

Antigens

Antibody


Either one can bind


Blood types

In blood, if they bind together … If antibody A binds with antigen A (type A

blood) it will… agglutinate or clump together. If antibody B binds with antigen B (type B

blood) it will… Agglutinate or clump together

If antibody B binds with antigen B in AB blood it will…

Agglutinate or clump together



OB ABA

Antigens

Antibody


Either one can bind

Clumping!Clumping!

Clumping!No Clumping cause There is no binding


Blood types

In real life… If clumping occurs in our blood stream it will

cause serious complications. That’s why…

When you receive blood, they always make sure that your blood is compatible


Blood types

There are 4 blood types A, B, AB, O Type A has “A” antigen, and B antibodies Type B has “B” antigen, and A antibodies Type AB has “A” and “B” antigen, and NO

antibodies Type O has NO antigen and “A” and “B”

antibodies


How do you find out your blood type?

Since there are only two antibodies that stimulate a response in our blood, we use type A and type B antibody to test our 4 combinations

Place a drop of blood on to antibody A and see if there is a reaction.

Place a drop of blood on to antibody B and see if there is a reaction.

If there is a reaction in antibody A, and not in B then you know it is blood type A because there is only A antigen on the red blood cell.

Questions

1. What causes clumping to occur in blood transfusion?

2. What are the 4 blood types? 3. What antibody(ies) is found on blood type O? 4. What is your blood type if there is clumping in the

anti-A, and anti-B serum? 5. What is your blood type if there is no clumping in

both your anti-A and anti-B serum? 6. How can you cause someone’s blood to clump if

you knew his blood type. 7. There is clumping in anti-A but not anti-B serum,

what blood type do you have? 8. What antibodies are found on type AB blood?


Blood transfusion

Now we know our blood have antigens and antibodies in it how can we make transfusing blood safer?

We know blood type A can be transfused with blood type A, but what about the others?

Let’s think…


Blood Stream with Type A blood

A

A

A

A

A A

Your blood stream…

If your blood type is A, you will have anti-B antibody.

So what can be donated to this blood stream?

Type A?Type B?Type AB?

Type O?

Anti-B antibody


Blood Stream with Type A Blood

A

A

A

A

A A

Transfuse with Type B?

What is in Type B blood?

B antigen

B

B

CLUMP!

Anti-B antibody

What is in Type A blood?

Anti B antibody


Blood transfusion

A

A

A

Transfuse with Type AB?

What is in Type AB blood?

A & B antigen

CLUMP!

AB

AB

A

AB

AB

B antibody


Blood transfusion

A

A

A

A

A A

Type O?What is in Type O blood?

No antigen

NO CLUMPING!

O

O

B antibody


Therefore…

You can only donate type A and type O blood to type A blood.


What about if your blood is…

Type B?


Blood Type B transfusion

Your blood stream…

If your blood type is B, you will have anti-A antibody.

So what can be donated to this blood stream?

Type A?Type B?Type AB?

Type O?

Anti-A antibody

BB

B

BB

B


Blood type B transfusion

Type A?What is in Type A blood?

A antigen

CLUMP!

Anti-A antibody in Type B blood

BB

B

BB

B

A

Type AB?What is in Type AB blood?

A & B antigen

CLUMP!

BB

B

BB

B

AB

AB



Type O?What is in Type O blood?

No antigen

NO CLUMPING!

O

O

BB

B

BB

B Anti A Antibody in type B blood


Therefore

You can only donate type B blood and type O blood to type B blood.


What about type AB?

Who can donate to type AB? What does type AB blood contain?

A & B antigen, and no antibodies

AB AB

B A

Any blood can donate to type AB

Or known as Universal RecipientBecause there are no antibodies to clump


What about type O?

Who can donate to type O? What does type O blood contain?

No antigens but both A & B antibodies

Only type O can receive type O blood because type O has Both antibodies.

It will cause clumping if any A or B or both A & B blood comes in contact with type O.

O O

O O


But who can type O donate to…?

Since type O doesn’t have any antigens…type O can donate to any blood type because other blood types do not have the antibodies AGAINST type O

O

Hmph…nothing

to bind to


Summary

O = universal donor – can donate to all types of blood because other types of blood do not have antibodies against O to cause clumping.

AB = universal recipient – can receive any type of blood because there are no antibodies against the incoming blood.

A = Specific – get blood from O or A B = Specific – get blood from …O or B


Rh Factor

Another antigen found on the surface of red blood cells.

Found 85% of the population in Canada Denoted as + (Rh Positive) for having the Rh

antigen Denoted as – (Rh negative) for NOT having

the Rh antigen Rh factor is an additional antigen and it

makes our blood type to have either + or – Ex. A+ AB- O- O+ etc…


Rh factor

In addition to the A, B, AB, and O blood types.

Blood transfusion with Rh factor must be taken into consideration

Rh- blood can donate to Rh+ blood Rh+ blood can receive blood from any Rh+/-

blood If Rh+ is transfused with Rh-, then an antibody

will be formed against Rh+. Rh+ can received any Rh blood because it

doesn’t have the antibodies against anything.


Type You Can Give Blood To You Can Receive Blood From

A+ A+ AB+ A+ A- O+ O-

O+ O+ A+ B+ AB+ O+ O-

B+ B+ AB+ B+ B- O+ O-

AB+ AB+ Everyone

A- A+ A- AB+ AB- A- O-

O- Everyone O-

B- B+ B- AB+ AB- B- O-

AB- AB+ AB- AB- A- B- O-


Rh Factor problem

Problem comes during pregnancies Mother is Rh- and child is Rh+ (got it from the father) Blood from child (Rh+) could cross the placenta and

transfuse into mother The foreign blood of the child with Rh+ antigen will

cause the mother to make antibodies against the antigen.

Doesn’t affect the current baby, because the mother does not have the antibodies yet.

But in later pregnancies, the new developed antibodies could cross the blood lining and get into the baby’s blood stream.

Causing swelling and anemia by attacking the baby’s red blood cells


Treatment to Rh problem

Inject mother with Rh immunoglobulin (antibody) at 28 weeks gestation and within 72 hours of delivery.

Prevents antibodies from being formed in the mother.


Mother is Rh- and child is Rh+


During delivery, the baby’s blood enters the mother’s blood streamCausing antibodies against the Rh factor to form


In later pregancies, the antibody developed from the previous pregnancyCould enter the baby’s blood stream causing anemia and swelling.


Questions 1. Your blood typing test shows clumping in your anti-A serum but

not anti-B, what blood type do you have? 2. Your blood typing test shows clumping in both your anti-A and

anti-B serum, what blood type do you have? 3. Your blood typing test did not show any clumping in both anti-A

and anti-B serum, what blood type do you have? 4. You want to donate blood to your brother who has type B blood,
