Best Answer

When the immune system cause cross linking of cells or particles an agglutination reaction occurs and the responsible antibody is an agglutinin.

Also

Agglutinin is a protein found in cow's milk. Because agglutinin clumps, cow's milk requires homogenization in order to remain smooth. The process by which agglutinin clumps is called agglutination.

Which scientist discovered human blood groups?

In the year 1900, an Austrian Scientist, Karl Landsteiner, discovered iso-agglutination, the phenomenon wherein red corpuscles and serum of the animal species are clumped together. On carrying out further experiments on blood, Landsteiner discovered that agglutinogens when mixed with agglutinins of another blood types produced fatal agglutination. These agglutinogens were named as A and B, and their respective agglutinins were named alpha and beta respectively. With this discovery, the question of blood group incompatibility was explained. Later, he discovered another blood type and named it O. In 1907, another scientist Jansky discovered a fourth type of blood, it was named AB. This discovery was corroborated by Moss in 1910. These agglutinogens and agglutins were renamed as antigens and antibodies respectively, specific to the blood.


What is the difference between agglutinogens and agglutinin?

When the immune system cause cross linking of cells or particles an agglutination reaction occurs and the responsible antibody is an agglutininAgglutinogens are1. any substance that, acting as an antigen, stimulates the production of agglutinin.2. the particulate antigen used in conducting agglutination tests.

What are some properties of having an 0 blood type?

The properties of type O blood are that it lacks both the A and B agglutinogens, which is a type of antigen. A positive property of type O blood is that it can be given to another with either A, B, or AB blood types. A negative property is that a person with type O blood can only be given type O blood.


Does the male determine the blood type?

No. It is determined by both parents. There are two different types of agglutinogens, type 'A' and type 'B'. Type 'O' has no antigens on the surface of the cell.Each type has different properties. The ABO blood type classification system uses the presence or absence of these molecules to categorize blood into four types. Everyone inherits two alleles of the gene, one from each parent.The combination of your two alleles determines your blood type.


Are all transfusions types the same?

No. Transfusions are categorized into different blood types. ABO blood types are the largest group. A person can have A, B, AB, or O type. The O is considered the universal donor and the AB is the universal recipient. That means that O is the preferred blood type of a person that is donating blood because it can be transfused into any other blood type. The AB is the preferred recipient because they can receive any of the blood types and not reject the agglutinogens, which are the proteins on the outside of red blood cells.


How does ABO blood typing work?

in the ABO blood type, there are two main anitgens or agglutinogens, A and B. A type has the A antigen, B type B antigen, O none, and AB both the A and B antigen. Thus, O is a universal donor due to its lack of antigens and AB is a univeral reciepient due to the fact that it has both antigens. btw, antigens= complex sugar molecules attached to the membrane of RBCs
