I’m loving your videos. I’m a Medical Laboratory Scientist who works in a hospital lab and an instructor for immunohematology. I want to point out to you that there are many other surface antigens on the red cells other than The A and B antigens (ex: C,c,E,e,Kell,FyA,FyB, JkA,JkB etc) that also contribute to someone’s red cell genotype and phenotype. If exposed to the antigens they lack for these other antigen systems, patients can develop antibodies which can be dangerous for future transfusions and pregnancies. So while O is the universal donor that’s only half the story. If a patient has any clinically unexpected antibodies to these other red cell antigens they must be matched for those as well and A, B and Rh. Even though we teach entire courses for immunhematology and transfusion medicine that can’t be covered here it might be worth mentioning briefly that there are other antigens that exist on red cells and other antibodies certain patients may have that complicate transfusion.
I wish you were my doctor...a hell of a teacher..what a special gift you have. Not even the doctors explain the severity of the mixed blood and the affect between mother and fetus. My hat off to you.👏
Only thing at 3:00, the Rh antibody is not naturally occurring like the A and B antibodies, so Rh antibodies only forms after the exposure to Rh positive blood.
I wish I had enough money to support you, I will remember this channel after I graduate in Med School! Thank you so much for sharing free knowledge! Metatron bless you!!
Your lectures are really really really helpful. You discuss everything that comes in the exam as well as in our real life practical. You are great dude👍👌 I have learned many things from you. And you give this all knowledge and your experience for free. Everybody who wants to become healthcare professional should watch your lectures. 👍 highly recommended
The way of teaching is awsome, keep it up and bring more videos like this so that Medical students will have a good onset in their topic.........thanks for this wonderful class ❤
I don’t really comment on RUclips videos, but I have to give it to you.. you’re literally the best! You’re a life saver!!! Keeping me sane through medschool. Thank you for all that you do🙏🏼❤️
Awesome video. I was struggling with this and didn’t think it would be something that I ever needed to worry about again. Now it has come back to haunt me as I prep for the MCAT. This video helped me understand it better now.
I used to hate school and had no idea what the teachers were talking about until I met your videos . I watched most of your videos and I’m glad to say that I’ve been getting As because of you. Thank you soooooo much. You’re a Godsent
I will suggest to my med school mates so we can give a percentile of our tuition as support to you Ninja Nerd. Keep up the good work. From Benue State, Nigeria 🇳🇬
Wow i literally watched so many videos trying to grasp this and your video has helped me so much just to visually see what you are explaining helps. Thank you for you time and patience. I really appreciate it !!!! 🎉❤
Very good lecture for beginner Medical Laboratory Science majors. I would also recommend Blood Bank guy for more in-depth discussions in blood banking, especially about other blood groups. There are a lot more surface antigens that MLS majors need to know. But Ninja Nerd's lectures have been so useful for me when I was a student (just graduated a few months ago).
Along with A and B antigens, there is another antigen known as the Rh factor which can be present or absent on the red blood cells' surface. In general, Rh-negative blood can be donated to Rh-negative patients only, whereas both Rh-positive and Rh-negative blood can be donated to Rh-positive patients.
Hi! You don’t make antibodies to the Rh antigen until you’re exposed to Rh+ cells through pregnancy or transfusion. If the mother is Rh+ the Rh antigen is seen as “self”. She won’t make Rh antibody because she would then destroy her own antigens/RBCs. If Mom’s Rh- there is potential for the father, thus the child, to be Rh+ and then her body will make Rh antibodies if she’s exposed to the baby’s Rh+ cells. Rhogam is given based on the mothers Rh- status as a preventative regardless of dad and baby’s Rh type. If Dad and baby are negative Mom won’t be sensitized to make antibodies anyway. If Mom were to make an antibody it would happen around 28 weeks, so Moms receive the shot at 28 weeks and after perinatal procedures or delivery when there is potential for fetal maternal hemorrhage (blood mixing). Also want to clarify what RhoGAM does. It’s not an antibody to an antibody. The purpose of it is to fool Mom’s immune system. The anti-G/anti-Rh/Rhogam coats any fetal cells that enter in the mother’s circulation that are Rh+ so she doesn’t “see” them and make her own antibody against them.
Laughed how you mention that babies usually not born with the opposite blood type of their mother. My first two girls have that.. but do LOVE your video..keep it going
Hi Zach, (not a Doc) just a seasoned organic chemist enjoying your lectures and learning. I was scratching my head trying to understand how Type A blood can be donated to Type AB recipients when Type A has Type B antibodies until I understood that Type B antibody is in the plasma and so a donation A > AB is limited to the RBC fraction. Reading a little more, I realized there may be a multiplicity of situations where blood exchanges can take place by separating plasma from the RBC fraction in such cases where the offending antibody can be separated out prior to the exchange. Obviously, if the antibody is insitu in the recipient you can't unload the corresponding antigen. Cheers!
Important note: When considering blood transfusions, it is important to distinguish between red blood cells (RBCs) and plasma. Plasma transfusions contain antibodies. If whole blood (or plasma) is being transfused from an O type donor, it can only be donated to O type recipients because O type individuals have anti-A and anti-B antibodies in their plasma. In most blood transfusions, only the red blood cells are transfused, which is why O type is considered the universal donor for red blood cells. O type red blood cells lack A and B antigens, making them safe for all recipients. Similarly, plasma from an AB individual lacks anti-A and anti-B antibodies. Therefore, it can be donated to recipients of all blood types, making AB individuals the universal plasma donors. :)
I have an important question, Firstly, I really thank you for your clear and easy explaining . Talking about mismatching of baby& mother RH , You said the mother's blood form RH antibody against the second baby's blood which is RH+ ,supposing that the mother's blood is RH- , the question is why would her blood form RH antibodies ,is not it supposed to be formed since her birth ?? Accordingly ,why is not the first baby attacked ?? I need an answer please
Hey according to my lecture slides from class; Antibody production is induced only when an Rh+ RBC enters the blood stream!!! So originally there are no rh antibodies. That’s the difference between the ABO system and the Rh system.
Also the first immune response is igM So it can’t cross the placenta that’s why nothing happens to the first baby but the second immune response is igG which CAN cross the placenta and that’s why the second baby is affected
Yes , the mother got Rh antibodies against Rh antigens.. the baby is Rh positive so he or she has Rh antigens.. so this Rh antibodies from mother attack Baby blood that got Rh antigens.. mother will be given injection to prevent her Rh antibodies from destroying the baby Rh antigens
Excellent video. I am wondering about the last bit on mother-fetus interaction. If the mom is Rh negative, wouldn't her antibodies attack the Rh positive fetus on the first baby? why would her blood wait until the second or their Rh positive fetus?
+Melissa Armstrong that's a great question! So generally if someone is Rh negative they don't have anti-bodies in there plasma until her they are exposed to Rh positive blood in this case the fetus. So during the first birth she wouldn't have any Rh anti-bodies. However if exposed to Rh positive blood she would produce antibodies in response to that. Now in the second birth if the baby is again Rh positive the mother will already have Rh anti-bodies in circulation which could cross the placenta and cause damage to the baby's red blood cells.I hope that makes sense!
Thanks for your response. It must be uncommon then to be Rh negative? if you have Rh negative blood, and have never had a previous exposure to Rh positive blood, can you receive a one time Rh positive blood transfusion, before it becomes unsafe?
@@melissaarmstrong7088 i think it cant be, because when its already circulating the Rh anti-bodies also produced too, and its a big-bang problem. this is just my opinion, sorry.
There is one mistake in video. You used the word that "Anti Rh antibodies" but Rh antigen don't have antibodies like ABO blood group system.It doesn't follow second part of landsteiner law.
you are a blessing to med students. thank you for existing, NINJA NERDS

Thank you. Is what you explained the same word "Alloimmunity" ?
Love this. Thanks.
Correct. There are 31 Other Regulators
Very insightful

Much love and respect
You simplified the blood type lecture in a very simple and easy-to-understand manner. By the way, I enjoy listening to all your lectures.
8 dislikes are my faculty teachers
SPECIFICALLY SCIENCE TEACHERS
Lol
😂
Hahahaha🤣

pretty ridiculous to learn that pre med school, we are just learning it right now and im in the 3rd semester
Thank you from the bottom of my heart !!! i had to understand for the mother/foetus mismatched and YOU EXPLAINED IT SO WELL !!! God bless you
Please explain it for me
You are one of the best things that happen in this world. THANK YOU!

Thank you so much! Your lectures are best!
شرح جميل وبسيط وكافي
استفدت كثيرا شكرا 🤍🔥
Hiiii, good job
Why found anti-A,anti-B in the plasma naturally without exposure to A,B antigen ?
Thank you very much.God bless you.
This helped me a lot. Thank you so much.
Thank you for this video, Sir! I understand perfectly by this video!
wow you are truly a blessing, thank you.
but if the mother is rh negative doesnt that mean she has anti rh antibodies like you explained earlier?
