FRSC 8104 – Serology Objectives
1. Describe the basic components of blood
2. Convey the techniques for collecting and
preserving blood evidence at a crime
scene.
3. List and describe various forensic tests
used to characterize a stain as blood.
4. Understand the concept of antigenantibody interaction and how it is applied
to the origin determination of blood.
FRSC 8104 – Serology Objectives
5. List the A-B-O antigens and antibodies found in the
blood for each of the four blood types: A, B, AB,
and O.
6. Understand and describe how whole blood is
typed.
7. Describe the structure of components of semen
and understand the laboratory tests used to
characterize seminal stains.
8. Understand the concept of “secretor” status and
explain the relevance of such in forensic casework.
9. Calculate basic population genetic problems from
forensic casework scenarios.
