Simulated ABO and Rh Blood Typing Background information: Science Kit and Boreal Laboratories Protocol (Materials and Methods): NeoSci ABO-Rh Typing Using Neo/BLOOD Introduction Around 1900‚ Karl Landsteiner discovered that there are at least four different kinds of human blood based on the presences or absence of specific agglutinogens (agglutinating antigens) on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs‚ also known as erythrocytes). These antigens have been designated as A and B. Antibodies

procedure‚ an electric current is applied to the gel so that the separated proteins transfer through the gel onto the membrane. To detect the antigen blotted on the membrane‚ a primary antibody (serum) is added at an appropriate dilution and incubated with the membrane. Antibodies present in the serum bind to the protein(s). In order to detect the bound antibodies‚ anti-immunoglobulin antibodies coupled to an enzyme alkaline phosphatase or horseradish peroxidase are added. This anti-IgG enzyme is
