Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458 FORENSIC SCIENCE: An Introduction, 2nd ed. By Richard Saferstein Nature of BloodNature of Blood •The word blood refers to a highly complex mixture of cells, enzymes, proteins, and inorganic substances. •Plasma, which is the fluid portion of blood, is composed principally of water. The plasma accounts for 55% of blood content. •Red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes) are the solid materials suspended in plasma. •Blood clots when fibrin traps and enmeshes the red blood cells. If the clotted material where removed, a pale yellowish liquid known as serum would be left. •Antigens, usually proteins, are located on the surface of red blood cells and are responsible for blood-type characteristics.

Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458 FORENSIC SCIENCE: An Introduction, 2nd ed.

For reasons unrelated to the red blood cell’s transporting mission, on the surface of each cell are millions of characteristic chemical structures called antigens. More than 15 blood antigen systems have been identified, but the A-B-O and Rh systems are the most important. •An individual that is type A has A antigens on his/her red blood cells, type B has B antigens, AB has both A and B antigens, and type O has neither A nor B antigens.

Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458 FORENSIC SCIENCE: An Introduction, 2nd ed. By Richard Saferstein Blood TypingBlood Typing •Serum is important because it contains proteins known as antibodies. The fundamental principal of blood typing is that for every antigen, there exists a specific antibody. Each antibody symbol contains the prefix anti-, followed by the name of the antigen for which is it specific. •The serum-containing antibody is referred to as the antiserum, meaning a serum that reacts against something (antigens). •Antibodies are normally bivalent – that is, they have two reactive sites. This means that each antibody can simultaneously be attached to antigens located on two different red blood cells. This creates a vast network of cross-linked cells usually seen as clumping or agglutination.

By Richard Saferstein Drug Protein Carrier attached to drug Inject into rabbit Rabbit produces antibodies nearly specific to the drug. The recovered blood serum of the animal now contains antibodies that are specific or nearly specific to the drug originally attached to the protein carrier. Currently, thousands of individuals regularly submit to urinalysis for the presence of abused drugs. These individuals include military personnel, transportation industry employees, police and corrections personnel, and subjects requiring pre-employment drug screening. Immunoassay testing for drugs has proven quite suitable for handling the large volume of specimens that must be rapidly analyzed for drug content on a daily basis.
