Introduction: It is very important to identify our blood type to determine what kind of antigen find at red blood cells surface. At the same time it helps to determine to whom you donate and receive blood, if it is mandatory. Two type of antigen, type A and type B. Both antigens type has unlike character. A blood type ABO categorization method use existence or nonappearance of type of A-antigen and B-antigen to categorize blood in to four types. There is another factor to determine your blood type to say whether positive or negative based on the Rh factor, a protein on red blood cells. For example, if someone Rh-positive and group A blood, he is A positive. Antibodies are a blood protein that is produced in response to …show more content…

If a sample of blood coagulated with one of the antibodies we knew the matching antigen was present. Before I started this examination, I collected four type sample blood(Sample 1,3,5,7)and I used three type of antibodies(A,B,Rh). For each blood sample type, I used each antibody for each sample blood type to see the outcome of which sample blood reactions took place or not. As I showed on the table, each sample the outcome was unlike the outcomes. For example, if the blood coagulated with the anti-A antibody, then we know the A antigen is present. Sample 1 the result showed anti-A generated an agglutination, which means we mixed the anti-A with sample 1 was changed the blood: the blood became thicker than original one. On other hand I added Anti-B to sample1, no changed which means the anti-B was a matching to the sample. I kept recorded all my examination for each sample 3,5, and 7 and registered my …show more content…

As I described Table 1, our outcomes for each blood sample were very unlike. Based on my evaluations which antibody triggered agglutination with the blood sample we were able to discern what blood type the sample was. Sample 1, I got agglutination to anti-A and Rh and no reactions to anti-B, and then I concluded the blood type of sample 1 was A+. I kept recorded our experiment the outcomes for the remaining sample 3,5, and 7 did the same way. During tested the sample with the toothpick I got myself pushing to hand on the slide. This could be produced a lot of viscous liquid, which may cause to go in to other wells in its vicinity, It may our data the outcomes affected. To avoid this fault, I would recommend using a shaker machine. When I finalized my experiment what I undersand, If a patient receiving a blood type that did not incompatible, antibodies the other patient already has it or his blood will rush the dump on red blood cells, our blood gets destroy and the patient immune system attack and it will be life threatening. In general, the main purpose of identifying this kind of procedure is very important to the assessment of finding if anyone is able to follow through a blood transfusion and it helps to avoid any problem and it will keep a patient
