A- large amounts of clumping

B & Rh- nothing occurred

B-
anti-A and Rh- no clumping seen

+ + + AB+ each well agglutinated --> clumping seen

- - - O- no agglutination in any of the wells


If an individual has blood type B, B antigens are present.

Based upon my results, Patient 1 can safely receive type A and O. This simulated blood typing activity is similar to actual human
Patient 2 is able to receive blood type B and O. Patient 3 blood typing as the same procedures occur such as with

Patient 4 is considered a universal donor due to the fact that they


have blood type O which has no antigens present in the red blood If a patient with type O blood receives a transfusion with type

causing the immune system to attack the blood cells leading to
blood clumping. This creates many problems and is life-
threatening.
