Sus scrofa domesticus’ Anti Serum

Abstract

The goal of this research is to develop an anti-serum from pig’s blood and determine its potential as blood typing agent. The research revealed that there are two alleles of blood in pigs, these are blood Type A and O. This is also supported by some articles. In the progress of the investigation, one (1) out of twenty-four (24) pigs has blood type A and used in the development of anti-serum. The anti-serum from Sus scrofa domesticus reacts with human blood types B and AB, while the developed anti serum does not show reaction to human blood type A. Human blood type B contains antigen B and antibody A while AB contains antigens A and B and does not contain any antibodies. The evident reaction of anti-serum from Sus scrofa domesticus to these blood types is due to the antibodies B contained in the developed anti-serum. Therefore, the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative hypothesis is accepted, that there is reaction of anti-serum from Sus scrofa domesticus to the blood samples.
