2 Glossary Gene Locus Allele Heterozygous Homozygous Phenotype Genotype Sex Chromosome Autosomal Chromosome Dominant Gene Recessive Gene

3 Chromosomes Chromosomes are made up of DNA Make up genes Code for proteins

4 Glossary Heterozygous 2 identical chromosomes with DIFFERENT Gene types i.e. Dominant & Recessive Homozygous 2 identical chromosomes with the SAME genes on each chromosome ie Dominant & Dominant

5 Glossary Locus Location of a gene on a chromosome Allele Variation of a gene that produces an alternative Phenotype Phenotype The result of expressing a gene ie Hair colour Gene A section of DNA made of bases that code for a phenotype. ie eye colour

6 Glossary Sex Linked Chromosome Is either X or Y. Determines gender. Females have XX, males have XY Autosomal Chromosome Pairs of chromosomes that have identical gene location, and are the same in Male and Females. Only the code within the gene varies.

7 Glossary Dominant Gene A strong gene that only needs one copy on one chromosome to be expressed. Recessive gene Weak gene that needs a copy on each autosomal chromosome (M&F), or on each XX in women, or on the X in men, to be expressed

8 The Blood Group Systems Inheritance and Genetics

9 History of Blood Groups and Blood Transfusions Experiments with blood transfusions have been carried out for hundreds of years. Many patients have died and it was not until 1901, when the Austrian Karl Landsteiner discovered human blood groups, that blood transfusions became safer. He found that mixing blood from two individuals can lead to blood clumping. The clumped RBCs can crack and cause toxic reactions. This can be fatal.

10 Karl Landsteiner discovered that blood clumping was an immunological reaction which occurs when the receiver of a blood transfusion has antibodies against the donor blood cells. Karl Landsteiner's work made it possible to determine blood types and thus paved the way for blood transfusions to be carried out safely. For this discovery he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in History of Blood Groups and Blood Transfusions (Cont.)

11 What is blood made up of? An adult human has about 4–6 liters of blood circulating in the body. Blood consists of several types of cells floating around in a fluid called plasma. The red blood cells (RBCs) contain haemoglobin, a protein that binds oxygen. RBCs transport oxygen to, and remove carbon dioxide from the tissues. The white blood cells fight infection. The platelets help the blood to clot, if you get a wound for example. The plasma contains salts and various kinds of proteins.

12 Blood Groups, Blood Typing and Blood Transfusions The discovery of blood groups Experiments with blood transfusions, the transfer of blood or blood components into a person's blood stream, have been carried out for hundreds of years. Many patients have died and it was not until 1901, when the Austrian Karl Landsteiner discovered human blood groups, that blood transfusions became safer. Mixing blood from two individuals can lead to blood clumping or agglutination. The clumped red cells can crack and cause toxic reactions. This can have fatal consequences. Karl Landsteiner discovered that blood clumping was an immunological reaction which occurs when the receiver of a blood transfusion has antibodies against the donor blood cells. Karl Landsteiner's work made it possible to determine blood types and thus paved the way for blood transfusions to be carried out safely. For this discovery he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in Blood group 0 If you belong to the blood group 0 (null), you have neither A or B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells but you have both A and B antibodies in your blood plasma. The differences in human blood are due to the presence or absence of certain protein molecules called antigens and antibodies. The antigens are located on the surface of the RBCs and the antibodies are in the blood plasma. Individuals have different types and combinations of these molecules. The blood group you belong to depends on what you have inherited from your parents. What are the different blood groups?

13 There are more than 20 genetically determined blood group systems known today The AB0 and Rhesus (Rh) systems are the most important ones used for blood transfusions. Not all blood groups are compatible with each other. Mixing incompatible blood groups leads to blood clumping or agglutination, which is dangerous for individuals. What are the different blood groups?

14 According to the ABO blood typing system there are four different kinds of blood types: A, B, AB or O (null). ABO blood grouping system

15 Blood group A If you belong to the blood group A, you have A antigens on the surface of your RBCs and B antibodies in your blood plasma. Blood group B If you belong to the blood group B, you have B antigens on the surface of your RBCs and A antibodies in your blood plasma. AB0 blood grouping system

For this discovery he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in What is blood made up of? An adult human has about 4–6 liters of blood circulating in the body. Among other things, blood transports oxygen to various parts of the body. Blood consists of several types of cells floating around in a fluid called plasma. The red blood cells contain hemoglobin, a protein that binds oxygen. Red blood cells transport oxygen to, and remove carbon dioxide from, the body tissues. The white blood cells fight infection. The platelets help the blood to clot, if you get a wound for example. The plasma contains salts and various kinds of proteins. What are the different blood groups?

The blood group you belong to depends on what you have inherited from your parents. There are more than 20 genetically determined blood group systems known today, but the AB0 and Rh systems are the most important ones used for blood transfusions. Not all blood groups are compatible with each other. Mixing incompatible blood groups leads to blood clumping or agglutination, which is dangerous or individuals. Nobel Laureate Karl Landsteiner was involved in the discovery of both the AB0 and Rh blood groups. AB0 blood grouping system Blood group AB If you belong to the blood group AB, you have both A and B antigens on the surface of your RBCs and no A or B antibodies at all in your blood plasma. Blood group O If you belong to the blood group O (null), you have neither A or B antigens on the surface of your RBCs but you have both A and B antibodies in your blood plasma.

17 The "A and "B" antigens are also produced by some other plants and microorganisms. Thus, individuals who do not recognize one or more of these antigens as "self" will produce antibodies against the plant or microbial antigens. These antibodies will also react with human antigens of the same kind whether introduced via a blood transfusion or a tissue graft. Why do individuals produce antibodies to antigens they do not have?

18 The ABO gene is autosomal (the gene is not on either sex chromosomes) The ABO gene locus is located on the chromosome 9. Each person has two copies of genes coding for their ABO blood group (one maternal and one paternal in origin) A and B blood groups are dominant over the O blood group A and B group genes are co-dominant ABO inheritance and genetics

19 AUTOSOMAL CHROMOSOME Mustafa Sara one alleles from Mustafa and one from Sara. The alleles for Blood group are in the same place on the chromosome 9. However the genes have a different code giving the different blood group AB

20 This meant that if a person inherited one A group gene and one B group gene their red cells would possess both the A and B blood group antigens. These alleles were termed A ( which produced the A antigen ), B (which produced the B antigen) and O (which was "non functional"and produced no A or B antigen) What do co-dominant genes mean?

23 The ABO blood groups The most important in assuring a safe blood transfusion. The table shows the four ABO phenotypes ("blood groups") present in the human population and the genotypes that give rise to them. Blood Group Antigens on RBCs Antibodies in SerumGenotypes AAAnti-BAA or AO BBAnti-ABB or BO ABA and BNeitherAB ONeitherAnti-A and anti-BOO

24 Why group A blood must never be given to a group B person? Giving someone blood from the wrong ABO group could be fatal. The anti-A antibodies in group B attack group A cells and vice versa. Blood group O negative is a different story.

25 Well, it gets more complicated here, because there's another antigen to be considered - the Rh antigen. Some of us have it, some of us don't. If it is present, the blood is RhD positive, if not it's RhD negative. So, for example, some people in group A will have it, and will therefore be classed as A+ (or A positive). While the ones that don't, are A- (or A negative). And so it goes for groups B, AB and O. The Rhesus (Rh) System

26 Rh antigens are transmembrane proteins with loops exposed at the surface of red blood cells. They appear to be used for the transport of carbon dioxide and/or ammonia across the plasma membrane. They are named for the rhesus monkey in which they were first discovered. RBCs that are "Rh positive" express the antigen designated D. 85% of the population is RhD positive, the other 15% of the population is running around with RhD negative blood. The Rhesus (Rh) System (Cont.)

27 Blood Type Genotype Alleles Produced Rh positive RRR RrR or r Rh negativerrr Rh Blood Group and Rh Incompatibility A person with Rh- blood does not have Rh antibodies naturally in the blood plasma

28 According to above blood grouping systems, you can belong to either of following 8 blood groups: Do you know which blood group you belong to?

29 A person with Rh- blood can develop Rh antibodies in the blood plasma if he or she receives blood from a person with Rh+ blood, whose Rh antigens can trigger the production of Rh antibodies. A person with Rh+ blood can receive blood from a person with Rh- blood without any problems.

30 Why is an Rh incompatibility so dangerous when ABO incompatibility is not during pregnancy? Most anti-A or anti-B antibodies are of the IgM class (large molecules) and these do not cross the placenta. In fact, an Rh /type O mother carrying an Rh + /type A, B, or AB foetus is resistant to sensitisation to the Rh antigen. Her anti-A and anti-B antibodies destroy any foetal cells that enter her blood before they can elicit anti- Rh antibodies in her.

31 This phenomenon has led to an effective preventive measure to avoid Rh sensitisation. Shortly after each birth of an Rh + baby, the mother is given an injection of anti-Rh antibodies (or Rhogam). These passively acquired antibodies destroy any foetal cells that got into her circulation before they can elicit an active immune response in her. Rh incompatibility during pregnancy (cont.)

32 The ABO Blood Group System Laboratory Determination of the ABO System

33 Several methods for testing the ABO group of an individual exist. The most common method is: Serology: This is a direct detection of the ABO antigens. It is the main method used in blood transfusion centres and hospital blood banks. This form of testing involves two components: a) Antibodies that are specific at detecting a particular ABO antigen on RBCs. b) Cells that are of a known ABO group that are agglutinated by the naturally occurring antibodies in the person's serum.

35 When RBCs carrying one or both antigens are exposed to the corresponding antibodies, they agglutinate; that is, clump together. People usually have antibodies against those red cell antigens that they lack. Human RBC before (left) and after (right) adding serum containing anti-A antibodies. The agglutination reaction reveals the presence of the A antigen on the surface of the cells. /BiologyPages/B/BloodGroups.html
