Agglutination is the clumping or sticking together of cells, such as red blood cells or bacteria, so that they form a visible pellet-like clump Agglutination can be a reaction of the red blood cells, closing an injury in the skin, or by antibodies
The process of particles forming from the binding of antibody and latex-coated drug metabolite Agglutination occurs with a negative urine specimen
The formation of insoluble aggregates following the combination of antibodies with cells or other particulate antigens or with soluble antigens bound to cells or other particles or following the combination of soluble (or particulate) antigens with cell-bound or particle-bound antibodies (16)
the building of words from component morphemes that retain their form and meaning in the process of combining a clumping of bacteria or red cells when held together by antibodies (agglutinins) the coalescing of small particles that are suspended in solution; these larger masses are then (usually) precipitated
Combination in which root words are united with little or no change of form or loss of meaning
a blood test used to identify unknown antigens; blood with the unknown antigen is mixed with a known antibody and whether or not agglutination occurs helps to identify the antigen; used in tissue matching and blood grouping and diagnosis of infections
