ABO Blood & Rh Grouping system
Lab# 3
BCH 471 practical
Objectives:
- To determine the blood group according to the ABO system.
- To test for the availability of the Rh factor (D-antigen).
-The term “blood group”, refers to the entire blood group system comprising red blood
cell (RBC) antigens.
-“Blood type”, refers to a specific pattern of reaction to testing antisera within a given
system.
International Society of Blood Transfusion has recently recognized 33 blood group systems.
Apart from ABO and Rhesus system, many other types of antigens have been noticed on the
red cell membranes.
Red blood cell antigens determine your blood group:
The antigens expressed on the red blood cell determine an individual's blood group.
The main two blood groups are called ABO (with blood types A, B, AB, and O) and Rh
(with Rh D-positive or Rh D-negative blood types). Which will be used in this lab.
-The differences in human blood types, are due to the presence or absence of certain
molecules called antigens which are present on the surface of the RBCs.
-The antigens are located on the surface of the red blood cells.
- The antibodies, are in the blood plasma to attack foreign antigens, resulting in clumping
(agglutination).
-Antigens are also found in a wide variety of tissues and biological fluids such as saliva, milk ,
seminal fluid, urine , and gastric juice.

ABO Blood Type system
• The ABO blood type system is the major blood type classification system.
• The four blood types in the ABO system (A, B, AB, and O) refer to different
versions of oligosaccharides (the antigens mentioned before), which are present
on the surface of RBCs.
Scheme for A,B, and O antigens.

ABO Blood Type System
Importance of The ABO System
• Blood group antigens must be
determined to secure a safe practice of
blood transfusion.
• They are also useful in determining
familial relationships in forensic
medicine.
Genetics of Blood Types
Codominance
is a condition in which the alleles of a gene
pair in a heterozygote are fully expressed
thereby resulting in offspring with
a phenotype that is
neither dominant nor recessive
Rhesus Blood Group
• Is the second most significant blood group system in human transfusion.
• The D antigen (RhD), is the most important.
• Rh(D) status of an individual, is normally described with a positive or negative suffix after
the ABO type. If it is present or absence on RBCs’ surface respectively.
• So, for example, some people in group A will have it, and will therefore be classed as A+
(or A positive), while the ones that don't, are A- (or A negative). And so it goes for groups
B, AB and O.
Rh Blood Group Transfusion
• A person with Rh+ blood can receive blood from a person with Rh- blood without any
problems
• A person with Rh- blood can develop Rh antibodies in the blood plasma if he or she
receives blood from a person with Rh+ blood, whose Rh antigens can trigger the
production of Rh antibodies
Note: that the blood group ABO, should be considered along with Rh group.
Hemolytic Disease of The Newborn (HDN)
• Also called, Erythroblastosis Fetalis
• Mother is Blood type Rh-, Father and fetus are Rh+
• First pregnancy = sensitization at delivery due to hemorrhage
• Second pregnancy = Mother produce anti-Rh IgG antibodies that cross placenta
to attack fetal RBCs leading to hemolysis
