Required information
Blood Typing
Read the overview and complete the interactivities that follow.
Blood is composed of two parts: the formed elements and plasma. Blood cells and cell fragments make up the formed
elements. An individual's blood type is genetically determined by the presence of antigens on the surface of red blood
cells. Antibodies are plasma proteins that provide various immunological functions. One of these functions is
agglutination, which is the process of clumping foreign cells together for the purpose of destruction and removal from
the body. When blood is mismatched during a blood transfusion, the antibodies in the recipient's blood will react with
the antigens on the donor's blood cells. The foreign blood cells will agglutinate, or clump together. This process makes
it possible to determine blood types in order to avoid a transfusion reaction that occurs when mismatched blood is
given from a donor to a recipient.
During the blood typing procedure, blood is mixed with three types of antisera: anti-A, anti-B, and anti-Rh. The antisera
represents the antibodies that would be found in the plasma. If agglutination occurs then that indicates that the
presence of the antigen specific for that type of antibody. For example, if a sample of blood reacts with anti-A and anti-
Rh that would indicate that the blood is type A+. If the blood reacts with anti-A, anti-B, but not anti-Rh that would
indicate that the blood is type AB-. If the blood reacts only with anti-Rh that would indicate that the blood is O+.
