English

Subject field(s)
  • Immunology
CONT

The ABO blood group is based on the presence (or absence) of two major proteins in red blood cell membranes - agglutinogen A and agglutinogen B. A person can have A, B, A and B, or neither A nor B in his or her blood cell membrane. These blood types are referred to as A, B, AB, and O. If a person has type A blood, his or her blood will contain antibodies against agglutinogen B. These antibodies are called agglutinins. Conversely, a type B person wil have agglutinins against agglutinogen A.

CONT

Le système ABO comprenant quatre groupes sanguins : A (présence de l'agglutinogène A), B (présence de l'agglutinogène B), AB (présence des deux agglutinogènes A et B) et O (absence d'agglutinogène). Les agglutinines anti-A ou anti-B sont présentes dans le plasma, mais jamais en même temps que les agglutinogènes correspondants, de sorte qu'une agglutinine anti-A n'existe pas chez un sujet du groupe A, une agglutinine anti-B n'existe pas chez un sujet du groupe B et les deux agglutinines A et B sont absentes chez un sujet du groupe AB.

An antigen located on the surface plasma membrane of red blood cells (erythrocytes) which determines the blood group of the individual.

CONT

The antigens on the surfaces of RBC's [red blood cells] are called agglutinogens (there are at least 50 different kinds) of which 3 are of particular importance: agglutinogen A (antigen A), agglutinogen B (antigen B) and agglutinogen D (Rh) (antigen D).

DEF

Antigène de surface de certains germes microbiens et des globules sanguins capable de provoquer l'apparition des anticorps correspondants (agglutinines) suivie de leur agglutination.

OBS

Les agglutinogènes des hématies permettent la distinction des groupes sanguins.
