Reporte De Laboratorio

• Introduction

In this practice we discovered the several types of blood there are and also the characteristic that are between each other. Also we learned which type of blood a person in need can receive and which type of blood that person can donate. Finally, we observed a method on how to get the blood type of an individual.

• Blood groups ABO

Group A: Has only antigen A on red cells (And B antibody on the plasma) (A+, A-)

Group B: Has only antigen B on red cells (And A antibody on the plasma) (B+, B-)

Group AB: Has both A and B antigen on red cells (But neither A nor B antibody on the plasma) (AB+, AB-)

Group O: Has neither A and B antigen on red cells (Both A and B antibodies are on the plasma) (O+, O-)

• Who can donate & who can receive?

• Rhesus blood group

o The RH Blood Group is one of the most complex blood groups known in humans. It was named after the Rhesus Monkey. It has become second in importance only to the ABO blood group in the field of transfusion medicine.

o RH blood types were discovered in 1940 by Karl Landsteiner and Alexander Wiener. This Blood Group may be the most complex genetically of all blood type systems since it involves 45 different antigens on the surface of red cells that are controlled by 2 closely linked genes on chromosome 1.

• Blood type in Mexico & Rest of the world

• Problem

o The purpose of this lab session was to identify the different types of blood and their main characteristics. Also, identify the main types of blood in each group at CIDEB.
