EXPERIMENT 8, 9, 10, 11 Flashcards
Type O individuals are the universal red blood cell donors due to the absence of [?] on their red blood cells.
A and B antigens
o U. Donor:
o U. Recipient:
o U. Donor: O
o U. Recipient: AB
If their blood is given to any [?], no major transfusion reaction is expected to happen.
non-O and non-Bombay recipients
However, the serum/plasma of type O Individuals contains naturally occurring [?] that can react to patient’s red cells having the corresponding antigens
anti-A and anti-B
If non-O recipients transfused with type O whole blood, incompatibilities can be detected in the [?] if the titer of the antibodles is high enough to cause a reaction.
minor crossmatch
is given to recipient
Packed rbc
In this case, only [?] should be given to the recipient to avoid reactions brought about by the antibodies coming from the donor.
packed red cells
Type O donor is considered only as a universal donor if the antibody titer is [?]
< 1:50

Introduction to Rh Blood Group System
Rh Genetics
Rh Biochemical Structure
Gene frequency of Rh antigen
Rh Terminologies
Rh antibodies
The genes are autosomal codominant located on the short arm of
chromosome 1
The Rh antigens are inherited as
codominant alleles.
(No carbohydrate attached to the protein)
Non-glycosylated CHON
are transmembrane polypeptides and are integral part of RBC membrane

Rh inheritance is controlled by 3 closely linked loci on each chromosome of a homologous pair
A. Fisher-Race (DCE Terminology)
Each locus has its own set of alleles which are: Dd, Cc, and Ee

Theory of Multiple Allelomorphic genes
B. Wiener (Rh-Hr Terminology)
There is one Rh locus at which occurs one Rh gene, but this gene has multiple alleles producing one agglutinogen composed of three factors
