Blood Group

Surprise! Sorry if before this I told everyone I met, "my blood type is O". Actually, I wasn't sure about it so I was guessing my blood type was O. Fyi, my dad, brother and 2nd sister were O+ while my mom and 3rd sister were B+. So today, I was too curious to know which type of blood group I'm in.. either O+ or B+.

This morning, I had a Physiology class, we learnt a topic on how to determine the blood group. After the briefing, we separated in four groups (I'm in Group C), then I took the set (e.g. slide, lancet, alcohol swab and filter paper) and I went to my friend,  Suhaila (a brave girl as she wills to prick my thumb). After 2nd trials.. Pap! (sound effect of the pricking). The blood burst out from the thumb. Suhaila pressed my thumb and dropped three drops of the blood on the slide.

After that, my prof added 1 drop of anti A, 1 drop of anti B and 1 drop of anti D (for Rhesus) and the results are :

 Thanks hajar for this picture.  

Anti A = no agglutination
Anti B = agglutinate
Anti D = agglutinate [ (+)ve ]

Conclusion, my blood group is B+.
