    Technically, all official websites and sources I've seen regarding the antibodies, refer to them as "anti-A" and "anti-B" antibodies. Not "A-antibodies " or B-antibodies". I've only seen letter prefixes used for antigens. "A-antigens" and "B-antigens". But I digress. We get the idea. But it could be confusing to some some people. Regardless, nicely done video! Also, good job talking about the removal of plasma before transfusion of red blood cells. Most videos don't even mention that and I see a lot of comments expressing confusion and asking how can a O blood type be given to the A, B and AB types if it contains the antibodies for all those antigens?. So, great job explaining that!

    I have a question, I was told I have O+ Blood, but when my blood was looked at I was told I also lack an entire group of antibodies, and that my doctor had never seen that before. Do you know what this could mean? I have been confused ever since as to if something is wrong with me or not and if this would cause problems if I ever needed a blood transfusion. I already know O types don’t have antigens, but what does me missing a whole antibody group as well mean?

  • @moonbeam2062
    @moonbeam20622 жыл бұрын

    I have an idea for a new video for you. Do a video on the rare blood type, cis-AB. This blood type which is the result a rare mutation is generally the same as a normal AB blood type in regards to the transfusion compatibilities etc, The difference in the cis-AB blood type from a normal AB type is in how it's constructed. Normal AB blood types as you know, inherit an A allele from one parent and a B allele from the other parent. But one of the two alleles in the cis-AB type person is an AB allele all its own. (Both the A & B versions of a blood type gene are found on one Allele). So, a person who has this blood type possess one allele being AB and the other allele being any of the other normal ABO types. This mutated cis-AB allele will dominate the other allele type no matter what type it is, resulting in the person always presenting as having AB type blood. One unique thing about a cis-AB person is that if for example, the genotype version combination of that person is the cis-AB allele and an O allele, that person could actually possibly parent a type O child if the other parent also possessed an O allele, which is something that would be impossible with a normal AB phenotype because a normal type AB person only has an A allele and a B allele to work with. The cis-AB blood type is very, very rare around the world, but is mostly found in the Korean and Japanese populations, But even in those populations it reaches a frequency of only 0.035% in Korea and 0.0012% in Japan.

    How can I determine if I have Cis-AB ? I was told I am AB- and my child is o+ . Recently my child was confirmed that he is O+. My question is also that proving maternity with Cis-AB is easier than if you had chimerism ( which is way different than a mutation). I also have health issues so I want to make sure my blood group/type is correct so if anything, I won't be giving the wrong blood if needed.

    ,,,,question 1....it's just a genetic possibility based on regional genetic development...the same with hair, eye and skin colours. Nothing special. It's said that group AB is a comparatively recent development based on interaction between Mongolian and central European populations. Question 2...it just merges with the existing blood in the body and there are no adverse reactions as long as there is no possibility of conflicting antigens and antibodies. See it as the same as pouring water in a leaking bath...there are only issues if the water has bleach in it at which point the bath water becomes toxic. Question 3...yes, but it will not excite your antibodies to attack it. Blood refreshes itself quite quickly and there will be no adverse reactions as the new, specific genetic code will soon be merged and then replaced. Water can be introduced into the blood stream to aid hydration as can glucose and sodium etc. and it's doesn't get attacked, either...
