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.

It is often helpful to draw a complicated pathway in the form of a flow chart to visualize the multiple steps and the ways in which the steps are connected to each other. Draw the antibody-mediated immune response pathway that acts in response to an invading virus.
In preparation for a scheduled surgery, a patient visits the hospital lab for a blood draw. The technician collects a blood sample and performs a test to determine its type. She places a sample of the patients blood in two wells. To the first well she adds anti-A antibody. To the second she adds anti-B antibody. Both samples visibly agglutinate. Has the technician made an error, or is this a normal response? If normal, what blood type does this indicate?
One treatment for peanut allergies is to give an allergic child increasing doses of the peanut allergen proteins, starting at a very low level and progressing to higher concentrations, stopping if any reaction occurs. Such treatments are usually successful, but at least one death has been reported. Would you agree to treat your allergic child this way? What are the risk-benefit considerations?
