Question

What happen if two different blood types mix in small doses?

Answer 1

Nada.

Answer 2

If by small doses you mean just one type of blood on a tray and drop another type in it. then nothing,

But if you mean using a different blood type in a person who needs the blood that has a different blood type, then they would become very sick.

Answer 3

depends on the blood type. Certain blood types are incompiatible with others. The incompiatible ones trigger the antibodies to destroy the blood. In some large amounts, though, too much dead blood going bad may cause complications. That is why people can only get blood from certain donors of a certain blood type. If the small dose is taken out of the body, though, I am not sure any antibodies will form.

Answer 4

if one is a negative and the other is a positive then you can have problems like blood clotting and get really sick.

Answer 5

umm nothing

Answer 6

As in vitro (within a body)

People could get sick. The reason is that antibody will recognize the foreign blood and attack them.

In vivo (in a test tube)

may be you will get clotting, depend on the dosage and the type of blood you are working on.

Answer 7

depends on what type of blood it is if the person's blood type is one negative and one positive then it will lead to blood clotting

Blood Groups, Blood Typing and Blood Transfusions  

    The discovery of blood groups  

   Experiments with blood transfusions, the transfer of blood or blood components into a person's blood stream, have been carried out for hundreds of years. Many patients have died and it was not until 1901, when the Austrian Karl Landsteiner discovered human blood groups, that blood transfusions became safer.

Mixing blood from two individuals can lead to blood clumping or agglutination. The clumped red cells can crack and cause toxic reactions. This can have fatal consequences. Karl Landsteiner discovered that blood clumping was an immunological reaction which occurs when the receiver of a blood transfusion has antibodies against the donor blood cells.

Karl Landsteiner's work made it possible to determine blood types and thus paved the way for blood transfusions to be carried out safely. For this discovery he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1930.





  

    What is blood made up of?  

   An adult human has about 4–6 liters of blood circulating in the body. Among other things, blood transports oxygen to various parts of the body.

Blood consists of several types of cells floating around in a fluid called plasma.

The red blood cells contain hemoglobin, a protein that binds oxygen. Red blood cells transport oxygen to, and remove carbon dioxide from, the body tissues.

The white blood cells fight infection.

The platelets help the blood to clot, if you get a wound for example.

The plasma contains salts and various kinds of proteins.





  

    What are the different blood groups?  

   The differences in human blood are due to the presence or absence of certain protein molecules called antigens and antibodies. The antigens are located on the surface of the red blood cells and the antibodies are in the blood plasma. Individuals have different types and combinations of these molecules. The blood group you belong to depends on what you have inherited from your parents.

There are more than 20 genetically determined blood group systems known today, but the AB0 and Rh systems are the most important ones used for blood transfusions. Not all blood groups are compatible with each other. Mixing incompatible blood groups leads to blood clumping or agglutination, which is dangerous for individuals.

Nobel Laureate Karl Landsteiner was involved in the discovery of both the AB0 and Rh blood groups.





  

    AB0 blood grouping system  

    According to the AB0 blood typing system there are four different kinds of blood types: A, B, AB or 0 (null).



  

   Blood group A

If you belong to the blood group A, you have A antigens on the surface of your red blood cells and B antibodies in your blood plasma.



  

   Blood group B

If you belong to the blood group B, you have B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells and A antibodies in your blood plasma.



  

   Blood group AB

If you belong to the blood group AB, you have both A and B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells and no A or B antibodies at all in your blood plasma.



  

   Blood group 0

If you belong to the blood group 0 (null), you have neither A or B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells but you have both A and B antibodies in your blood plasma.





  

    Rh factor blood grouping system  





   Many people also have a so called Rh factor on the red blood cell's surface. This is also an antigen and those who have it are called Rh+. Those who haven't are called Rh-. A person with Rh- blood does not have Rh antibodies naturally in the blood plasma (as one can have A or B antibodies, for instance). But a person with Rh- blood can develop Rh antibodies in the blood plasma if he or she receives blood from a person with Rh+ blood, whose Rh antigens can trigger the production of Rh antibodies. A person with Rh+ blood can receive blood from a person with Rh- blood without any problems.

Answer 9

ameko dude you got in vivo and in vitro mixed up. In vitro is experiemts in a test tube and in vivo is experiments in living tissue.

Answer 10

nothing would happen.

Answer 11

antibody\ies would recognize the foreign blood and destroy them.

The blood would get rejected

Answer 12

In vitro there would be agglutination if they are incompatible.  Small globs of red blood cells which are corsslinked by antibodies would form, giving the blood a uneven appearance.
