Essay

Refer to the figure below showing the three different oligosaccharides present on the surfaces of human red blood cells that determine blood type. Antibodies are proteins produced in the body in response to foreign substances.Antibodies recognize and bind to these foreign substances to remove them from the body.How would blood cells containing the oligosaccharide type O be received if they were transfused into the body of a patient whose own blood cells contained the oligosaccharide type A? Would the reaction be different if the reverse situation occurred; that is, blood cells containing the oligosaccharide type A transfused into a patient whose blood cells contained oligosaccharide type O? Describe the role of the oligosaccharides in these two situations.
