Blood Typing: ABO and Rh System, Slides of Human Biology

The basics of blood typing using the abo and rh systems. It covers the presence and absence of antigens on red blood cells, the production of antibodies, and the genetics behind these systems. The document also includes instructions for performing a blood typing test and interpreting the results.

What you will learn

  • Can a person with type AB blood safely receive a transfusion of type O blood?
  • What antibodies are present in the blood of individuals with type A, B, and AB blood?
  • What antigens are present on type A, B, AB, and O blood?

To determine blood types using simulated blood and sera and to determine the possible genotypes
and phenotypes of parental crosses.
The presence or absence of specific antigens (proteins) on an individual’s red blood cells determines
their blood types. Individuals with the A antigen only have type A blood, and individuals with the B
antigen only have type B blood. Individuals with both A and B antigens have type AB blood. The
absence of A or B antigens give type O blood.

l

are co-dominant to each other, and both l

and l

When bloods of mixed types are mixed, agglutination (CLUMPING) occurs. Agglutination occurs due
to antibodies in the blood. Individuals produce antibodies for antigens not present on the blood cells.
For example, an individual with type A blood will produce B antibodies, but not A antibodies. We will
use this phenomenon to determine blood types using the antibodies in sera.

In addition to the ABO blood typing system there is an Rh blood group system. If the Rh antigen is present on
the surface of the red blood cells then the blood is Rh+. If the Rh antigen is not present then the blood is Rh-.
The pattern of inheritance that the Rh blood group system follows is complete dominance. Rh+ is dominant
and Rh- is recessive.

The absence of A or B antigens give type O blood.

For example, an individual with type A blood will produce B antibodies, but not A antibodies. We will use this phenomenon to determine blood types using the antibodies in sera.

A. Label each of the four blood typing slide wells W, X, Y, & Z. B. Place 3 drops of the “Person W” blood in each of the wells on the W slide. Similarly place 3 drops of the X, Y, & Z on their respective slides. C. Locate the Anti-A well on the “W” slide. Add 3 drops of Anti-A sera and stir the mixture with a toothpick. Add this Anti-A sera to the Anti-A wells on the X, Y, & Z slides. Stir each of these mixtures with a fresh toothpick to avoid cross contamination. D. Locate the Anti-B well on the “W” slide. Add 3 drops of Anti-B sera and stir the mixture with a toothpick. Add this Anti-B sera to the Anti-B wells on the X, Y, & Z slides. Stir each of these mixtures with a fresh toothpick to avoid cross contamination. E. Locate the Anti-Rh well on the “W” slide. Add 3 drops of Anti-Rh sera and stir the mixture with a toothpick. Add this Anti-Rh sera to the Anti-Rh wells on the X, Y, & Z slides. Stir each of these mixtures with a fresh toothpick to avoid cross contamination. F. Observe each well against a white paper background looking for any clumping. G. Record the results on the following data table as positive(+) if clumping occurs or negative (-) if NO clumping occurs.

  1. What is person X’s blood type? What antigens are present on Person X’s red blood cells?

Person X’s blood type is O-. No antigens are present.

  1. What is person Y’s blood type? What antibodies are present in Person Y’s blood?

Person Y’s blood type is A+. Person Y has B antibodies

  1. Person Z needs a transfusion. What blood types might Person Z safely receive? Explain. Person Z can accept B- & O- blood because person Z has A antibodies therefore cannot accept any blood with the A antigen.
  2. Could a man with type AB blood be the father of a child with type O blood? Show a Punnett square. A man with type AB blood cannot father a child with type O blood because the man will only pass an type A allele or a type B allele to his child. There is no chance for an ii to be inherited.
  3. Could a child with type B blood who has a mother with type A blood have a father with type A blood? Show a Punnett square.

No, the B allele would have to be inherited from one of the parents. The type A father does not have a B allele to pass to his child.
