Chapter 26, Problem 1.1BGL
Summary Introduction

To complete: The table of ABO blood group interactions.

Introduction: The blood is fluid tissue that circulates throughout the body and delivers all the essential nutrients and oxygen to the body tissues. The liquid portion of the blood is called plasma and the solid portions are made up of formed elements. There are different types of blood found in humans.

Table 1: Summary of ABO blood groups

Explanation of Solution

The blood groups are differentiated based on the blood group antigens found the blood cell’s surface and antibodies found in the blood plasma. Each blood group has distinguished antigens and antibodies. The blood group A has antigen A and anti-B antibody. The blood group B has antigen B and anti-A antibody. The blood group AB has both the antigens and possesses no antibodies. The blood group O has both the antibodies and possesses no antigen. The AB blood group is universal acceptor and the O blood group is a universal donor. If the incompatible blood is transfused, agglutination (antigen-antibody reaction) reaction occurs and the blood will be hemolysed.

The diagram below illustrates a quorum sensing pathway from Staphylococcus aureus. Please answer the following questions. 1. Autoinduction is part of the quorum sensing system. Which promoter (P2 or P3) is critical for autoinduction? 2)This staphylococcus aureus grows on human wounds, causing severe infections. You would like to start a clinical trial to treat these wound infections. Please describe: a) What molecule do you recommend for the trial. Why? b) Your trial requires that Staphylococcus aureus be isolated from the wound and submitted to genome sequencing before admittance. Why? What are you testing for?  3) If a mutation arises where the Promoter P3 is constitutively active, how would that influence sensitivity to AIP? Please explain your rationale. 4) This pathway is sensitive to bacterial cell density. Describe two separate mutation that would render the pathway active independent of cell density. Briefly explain your rationale. Mutation 1 Mutation 2
