What is the difference between Agglutination and Hemolysis?

Hemolysis is the degradation of RBCs. Agglutination is the reaction that occurs when antibodies bind to the antigen. Agglutination looks cloudy while hemolysis will be clear.

What is an agglutination test?

An agglutination test is a test in which the use of a blood serum results in the agglutination of bacteria or foreign blood cells. The test is used to check for infection and to find pathogens as well as blood types.


Can Precipitation reaction be converted into agglutination reaction?

Ppt. rxns can be transformed to agglutination rxns by attaching the soluble antigen or hapten to an inner carrier like an erythrocyte or latex beads; a process called passive agglutination.


Difference between bleeding time and clotting time?

Clotting refers to the hemostasis process that occurs in the body when there has been some injury to a blood vessel & blood loss needs to be stopped. It is a process that involves many steps & is vital to our survival. People whose blood will not properly clot, or coagulate, are in danger of bleeding to death. For example, people with the hereditary condition, hemophilia, are missing one of the several factors needed for normal blood coagulation. Agglutination refers to the clumping of red blood cells that occurs when different blood types are mixed together. It involves a chemical reaction between antigens on the surface of red blood cells & protein antibodies in the plasma, or liquid, part of the blood. Certain blood types cannot be safely mixed together due to this antigen-antibody reaction. The fact that mixing different blood types together can cause agglutination has been used as a means of typing blood, i.e., determining just what blood type a person has.


What is the clumping together of RBCs by antibodies?

coagulation- is not the correct answer! The correct answer from my "Anatomy and Physiology" book is Agglutination
