(a) agglutinogens A and B are present on your red blood cells,
(b) there are no anti-A or anti-B antibodies in your plasma,
(c) your blood is Rh+, (d) all of the above.

If the thymus of an adult experimental animal is removed, the following observations can be made: (a) No immediate effect occurs, and (b) after 1 year, decreases occur in the number of lymphocytes in the blood, the ability to reject grafts, and the ability to produce antibodies. Explain these observations.
Comprehensively explain why the D antigen is the most immunogenic of all the blood group proteins.
Can a person with a weak D phenotype safely receive D- positive blood? Why? Why not? (If not, what type (in terms of Rh) should this individual receive?
