BLOOD GROUPS
INTRODUCTION
■ Agglutinogens –
Antigens present on cell
membrane of RBC
■ Agglutinins – antibodies
against Agglutinogens
present in plasma.
■ Agglutination – of RBC is
reaction between these 2
LANDSTEINER’S LAW
KARL LANDSTEINER 1900
■ If an Agglutinogens is
present on surface of RBC
corresponding
agglutinins must be
absent in plasma.
■ & if an Agglutinogens is
absent on surface of RBC
corresponding
Agglutinins must be
present in plasma.
CLASSICAL ABO BLOOD
GROUPING SYSTEM
■ The surface of erythrocytes contain a
genetically determined assortment of
antigens composed of glycoproteins and
glycolipids this is called as agglutinogens.
■ There are at least 24 blood groups and more
than 100 antigens that can be detected on
the surface of red blood cells.
CLASSICAL ABO BLOOD
GROUPING SYSTEM
■ The ABO blood group is based on two
glycolipid antigens called A and B.
■ People whose RBC’s display only antigen A
have type A blood, those who have only
antigen B are type B.
■ Blood plasma contains antibodies called
agglutinins that react with A and B antigen.
CLASSICAL ABO BLOOD
GROUPING SYSTEM
■ Anti-A antibody, which reacts with antigen
A and anti-B antibody which reacts with
antigen B.
■ If your blood type is B, you have B
antigens in RBC’s and anti-A antibodies in
your blood plasma

APPERANCE OF ANTIGENS &
ANTIBODIES
■ Antigens A & B appears
in 6thweek of fetal life, at
birth 1/5thof adult level
& rises during puberty
& adolescence.
■ Antibodies are absent at
birth, appear 10-15
days after birth, reach
maximum at 10 yrs.
MECHANISM
■ Antigens similar to A & B are present in
intestinal bacteria & foods, when newborn
exposed to these absorbed in blood,
stimulate formation of antibodies against
antigens recognized as non-self by immune
system.
DETERMINATION OF ABO
BLOOD GROUPS
■“Determination of
Blood Groups”
Rh BLOOD GROUPING SYSTEM
■ Rh Antigens – called Rh as these were first
discovered in RBC of rhesus monkey.
■ Discovered by Landsteiner & weiner in
1940.
■ People whose RBC’s have Rh antigens are
designated Rh+, those who lacks are
designated as Rh-.
■ Normally blood plasma does not contain
anti-Rh antibodies.
DONORS & RECIPIENT.
■ Donor – person who
donate the blood
■ Recipient – person who
receives the blood.
■ Universal donor – O
Rh Negative.
■ Universal recipient –
AB Rh positive
■ Rarest Blood Group–
AB Rh Negative
