While performing a blood typing assay, the lab technician notes a reaction between the blood sample and the Anti-A serum (A antibodies). The Anti-B serum (B antibodies) and the Anti-Rh serum (Rh antibodies) cause no reaction. What type of blood is the blood sample being tested? A. A- B. A+ C. B- D. B+

Step 1
There is a reaction with Anti-A serum, which means the blood sample has A antigens. So, it can be either A- or A+. Show more…

In the following blood typing test; Anti A Antibodies are mixed with a drop of sample 1 blood and Anti B Antibodies are mixed with another drop of sample 1 blood. What blood type is sample 1 based on the agglutination of the erythrocytes? Why is this particular agglutination occurring? a. Blood type A; because the B antigens on the erythrocytes are reacting with the Anti A antibodies b. Blood type A; because the A antigens on the erythrocytes are reacting with the Anti A antibodies c. Blood type B; because the A antigens on the erythrocytes are reacting with the Anti A antibodies d. Blood type B; because the B antigens on the erythrocytes are reacting with the Anti A antibodies

What is the blood type of someone whose blood creates agglutination with antibody A, antibody B and antibody D (Rh D)? What is the blood type of someone whose blood creates no agglutination with antibody A, antibody B and antibody D (Rh D)? List all the possible blood type combination that is compatible for someone with blood type AB-. Please provide explanation.
