A person comes to the ER with a need of blood transfusion. How would you determine his blood type?
1. By mixing his blood with the blood of another person of known blood type and if there is no reaction they are the same type.
2. By looking at red blood cells under a microscope to see what kind of antigens are on their membranes.
3. By checking to see which plasma antibodies a person has and he won't have antibodies against his own blood type.
4. By mixing the blood with different antibodies to see which ones cause the red blood cells to agglutinate.
