Project Kit question: Antibodies & Blood-typing

[Gilliansc]

Hi there, my son used the Science Buddies kit, "How are Antibodies used for Blood Typing?" for his recent science fair project. The kit uses synthetic blood samples and simulated anti-serum: his question is whether he can use the kit to type his own (or other) real blood? His science fair is Tuesday night (April 28th) and he thought it would be pretty cool to actually type some real blood as part of his project! Thanks for your help
