Concept explainers
a.
To determine:
Whether each of the following transfusions would be immunologically compatible.
Type A donor into a type B recipient.
Type B donor into a type AB recipient.
Type
Introduction:
ABO blood group system is the classification of human blood based on the presence or absence of inherited antigens A and B on the surface of the red blood cells (erythrocytes). Persons may four type of blood group type A, type B, type O, or type AB blood. A blood group is further classified in the basis of presence or absence of RH antigen factor on the surface of erythrocytes.
b.
To explain:
How xenotransplantation might be successful in light of the immune system’s robust ability to recognize the foreign antigen.
Introduction:
Transplantation is the surgical procedure for removing tissue from one site and transferring them to another on the same body, or from another person, without bringing the blood supply of the donor with it. Instead, a new blood supply grows develops after it is placed.
