KROK 1 2010 – Question 111 · KROK (Medicine) · Physiology

Blood group of a 30 year old man was specified before an operation. His blood is Rh-positive. Reaction of erythrocyte agglutination was absent with standard sera of 0αβ (I), Aβ (II), Bα (III) groups. The blood under examination is of the following group:

  1. A. AB (IV)
  2. B. Aβ (II)
  3. C. Bα (III)
  4. D. 0αβ (I)
  5. E. -
Hint

Agglutination happens only when an erythrocyte antigen meets its matching antibody; ask what the absence of any reaction with all the standard sera implies about the antigens on these cells.
