Anti-A Serum Anti-B Serum Anti-Rh Serum Blood Type
Slide 1- Mrs. Smith Agglutination No Agglutination Agglutination A
Slide 2- Mr. Jones No Agglutination No Agglutination No Agglutination O
Slide 3- Mr. Green Agglutination No Agglutination Agglutination A
Slide 4- Ms. Brown No Agglutination No Agglutination No Agglutination O
1) Choose one of the following patients:
a) Mr. Smith, Mr. Jones, Mr. Green, Ms. Brown= Mr. Green
b) Using the information shown in Figure 1 on Blood type and the data recorded in Table 1, What
agglutinogens are present on the patient’s RBC’s? A
c) What ABO agglutinin(s) is/are found in the patient’s Plasma? Click here to enter text.
d) What is the patient’s blood type? A
e) If this patient needed a transfusion, what blood type(s) could this patient safely receive? O,A
f) What blood type(s) could safely receive this patient’s blood?A,AB
2) Below is the information representing the blood type analysis of a new patient (patient X). From the
information obtained, fill out the medical technologist report.
A: Agglutination Medical technologist’s report
B: No Agglutination ABO Type: AB
Rh: Agglutination Rh Type: AB
3) Compare and Contrast agglutinogens and agglutinins. In the diagram show at least 2 similarities and
2 differences.

that is capable of causing

cells or Bacteria. Ex: the
genotype AA is aA, the
agglutinogens is the surface
antigen (A) on the RBC surface,
and the agglutinins is the Anti-B
in the blood.
4) Pretend you went with your class on a medical career field trip to a local hospital. One of the stops
on the visit was to the hospital’s blood lab. The medical technologist at this stop gave a
demonstration of how blood types are determined. Your job is to write a paragraph for the school
newspaper on the visit to the blood lab, summarizing what you’ve learned about how ABO/Rh blood
groups are determined. Write a paragraph and include the title.
While visiting the blood lab I have learned that there are different type of blood types, such as
A,B,O. These blood types are represented as A: Agglutination, B: No Agglutinations O:Rh
Agglutinations. These Agglutions determine which blood Type you are!
5) List at least 3 situations where blood typing could be used.
a) Blood Donation
b) DNA test
c) Blood Transfusions
6) Define Erythroblastosis Fetalis. Severe animia in newborn babies.
a) Describe the sequence of events that lead to this condition. The result of Rh incompatibility
between maternal and fetal blood: typically occurs by the productions of the maternal
antibodies against the fetal red blood cells.
b) What might be some benefits if the medical profession developed a shot or vaccination that
could desensitize an Rh+ situation?It would slowly turn back into a red blood cell
7) You are a type A eryhthorocyte placing an ad in the personals and you are seeking a compatible
mate for a long lasting transfusion. Create an ad to be submitted to the newspaper.
My mate and I are has the same type of blood cells/ blood type. We are both A eryhthorcyte, we will
have a long lasting transfusion which is compatible.
8) Another important diagnostic tool used by medical technologist is determining a patient’s blood cell
count, for both red blood cells and white blood cells. When this procedure is performed, one
technique used is to take multiple samples and calculate the average. This method of multiple

3. sampling is a standard procedure in scientific and medical investigations. Discuss why this method is
important in blood typing. To see what type of blood cells you are and if a child is AB that means
that their Mother is either A and their father is B or The mother is B and the Father is A.
9) Each year thousands of people contract blood borne diseases. What could be done in a clinical
blood lab to minimize the risk of obtaining or spreading a blood borne disease?By giving the mother
anit biotic shots of what ever the blood borne disease is.
10) In a short paragraph, identify what you think may be the next important breakthrough, milestone or
discovery in the study of blood and blood diseases and explain why. I think someone will come
across or discover an antibiotic shot or somewhatof a cure of a blood borne disease. Once they find
a cure that they know will 100% kill the disease they will probably give it to the person that has the
disease.
