Jul 30, 2023 · Agglutination is a biological process in which particles, such as cells or microorganisms, clump together in the presence of specific antibodies. This phenomenon occurs when antibodies bind to antigens present on the surface of these particles, causing them to stick together and form visible aggregates or clumps.
Jan 1, 2014 · The agglutination phenomena can be defined as the linkage of particles or cells in a liquid resulting in formation of clumps. In detail, aggregation/agglutination is the outcome of...
Apr 10, 2024 · Agglutination reaction is an antigen-antibody reaction that leads to the visible clumping of particles. It occurs when a particulate antigen combines with its corresponding antibody in the presence of electrolytes, at a specific temperature and pH.
When multiple antibodies bind to multiple antigens on diferent pathogens, it leads to agglutination. This clumping makes it easier for immune cells to engulf and eliminate the pathogens, thus enhancing the body's defense against infection. In microbiology, agglutination can occur in various ways.
