Type A blood with A antigens will coagulate (agglutinate) when they come in contact with anti-A serum (antibodies), but produce anti-B antibodies in a living person, so will not coagulate with anti-B serum. Type B blood with B antigens will coagulate (agglutinate) when they come in contact with anti-B serum (antibodies), but produce anti-A antibodies in a living person, so will not coagulate with anti-A serum. Type AB blood has both A and B antigens, and will coagulate (agglutinate) when they come in contact with either anti-A or anti-B serum (antibodies). These individuals do not produce anti-A or anti-B antibodies. Type O blood produces both anti-A and anti-B antibodies, so it will not coagulate with Anti-A or Anti-B Serum.

Can you please help me with this chart and explain what serum antibodies are?
In terms of antigens and antibodies, explain why O- is considered a universal donor and why AB+ is considered a universal recipient. Even so, why can’t whole blood O- be donated to a person of type AB+ blood?
Shortly after the recovery from COVID-19, the plasma of the convalescent has significant quantities of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. This plasma was suggested to be used as therapy for other COVID-19 patients by transfusing the plasma from the recovered individuals (donor) to the other COVID-19 patients (recipient). Do you think the identification of the ABO group of the donor and recipient is important and why? O a. No, this has nothing to do with blood grouping. It is only related to the virus and the antibodies against it. O b. Yes, but I really have no idea why. O c. No, not important because the antigens A, B or AB exist on the surface of red blood cells but not in the plasma and when they transfer, they do not transfer cells (only plasma) O d. Yes, because the donor plasma might contain anti-A or Anti-B or both which might induce an immune response if the recipient has A or B or AB group. Clear my choice
An injection contains 5 million international units (MIU) of interferon alpha-n3 (ALFERON N) proteins per milliliter. The recommended dose is 0.05 mL. The literature states that the activity of interferon alpha-n3 is approximately equal to 2.6 × 108international units/mg of protein. Calculate (a) the number of international units and (b) the micrograms of interferon alfa-n3 proteins administered per dose.
What are ABO blood-group antigens?
The following reactions are all antigen(Ag)-antibody(Ab) complexes. Match the description with the best reaction. Use each option only once.1. Antibodies react with soluble antigens and when they do, a complex forms that comes out of solution (e.g. is now insoluble).2. Reaction with insoluble antigens (a particle such as a cell with an antigen), rather than a soluble antigen.3. Antibodies coat antigens and enhances phagocytosis4. Antibodies with their antigen involve the complement proteins; can cause the invading organism to lyseAnswer choices to MATCH with the above sentences are:-Agglutination-Precipitin-Complement Fixation-Opsonization

Mangaba, the laboratory technician, is interested in determining narcotics in saliva at this concentrations > 10 mg/L (μg/mL). One approach being considered is to use an immunochemical assay. Which immunoassay would be most suitable for the desired assay? Explain. Describe the immunoassays that are sensitive enough to measure as little as 10 mg/L of antigen? Which of these assays can quantitate urine albumin? Which of these assays are technically complex or require dedicated, expensive instrumentation?
