You are solving for an unknown blood type. Drops of blood have been mixed with solutions containing the antibodies Anti-A, Anti-B, and Anti-Rh. The test results are pictured below. Using your knowledge of antibody-antigen interactions and the principle of agglutination, identify the blood type and answer the associated questions. Anti-A Anti-B Anti-Rh Please create a numbered list of your answers when you respond. What is this patient's blood type? What antigens are present on the patient's RBCs? What ABO antibody(ies) is/are found in this patient's plasma? What blood type(s) could this patient safely receive? To which blood type(s) could this patient safely donate blood?

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

Classifying Blood Types Human blood is classified as either Rh+ or Rh-. Blood is also classified by type: A, if it contains an A antigen but not a B antigen; B, if it contains a B antigen but not an A antigen; AB, if it contains both A and B antigens; and O, if it contains neither antigen. Draw a Venn diagram illustrating the various blood types. Based on this classification, how many different kinds of blood are there?
