Okay, so we have a bunch of post -lab questions.
00:04
I already answered the questions, but i'll go ahead and explain why this is, one by one.
00:10
So, number one, agglutination in blood samples indicates blood type incompatibility.
00:15
What does that mean? that means that, and actually, it's this is answered with question two.
00:24
Type a blood contains antibodies for type b.
00:27
So type a, antibodies for b.
00:31
B has antibodies for a.
00:35
A, b has no antibodies, and type o has antibodies for a and b.
00:45
And actually, let's write that back up here.
01:04
No antibodies to a or b, and this is actually just a or b.
01:09
Okay? so if you are, have type a blood, you will agree.
01:16
Glutinate, you will have antibodies to type b, so you will agglutinate type b blood.
01:23
So that's how, that's why it's blood type incompatibility for number one.
01:27
Continuing on, three, how is agglutination different from precipitin? precipitin is typically, the differences are that precipitant has a soluble antigen, whereas agglutination has insoluble antigens, so that's where you get c.
01:46
And then the in a glutenation reactions, which is basically what we talked about with blood typing, the antigens are actually much smaller than precipitants...
