Blood
Blood Types:
- 32 human blood group systems recognized
- Most important = ABO and RH systems
- Shared by apes, chimps, bonobos, gorillas
- Inherited in non-mendelian genetics (except for Rh)
- Differentiated by antigens on the cell surface:
o Type O (ii): No antigen added
Universal donor
o Type A (iIA; IAIA): N-acetylgalactosamine added at antigen terminus
o Type B (iIB; IBIB): Galactose added at antigen terminus
o Type AB (IAIB): Both “” added at antigen terminus
Universal recipient
- 3 alleles:
o i – codes for no antigens
o IA – codes for N-acetylgalactosamine
o IB – codes for Galactose
Discovery:
o 1900 by Dr. Karl Landsteiner at University of Vienna
o He wondered why some patients died as result of blood transfusions and others did
not
Antigens & Antibodies
- Antigens you have on your blood cells are recognized by immune system as SELF
antigens
- If foreign antigens discovered in body, antibodies (immunoglobulins) will be made by
B-cells of immune system
- Agglutination = blood clumping resulting from when antibody attacks foreign
antigen.
- Type A – anti-B antibodies
- Type B – anti-A antibodies
- Type AB – No antibodies
- Type O – anti-A & anti-B antibodies
Antibody Structure:
- Paratope (lock) of antibody fits exactly to
epitope (key) of antigen
