Can all antibodies produce agglutination?
Theoretically yes
Agglutination is caused by what?
Mixing red cells and corresponding antibodies
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
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 the difference between aggregation and agglutination?
Aggregation involves clumping of platelets while agglutination involves clumping of particles in the presence of antibodies.
What are the purpose of agglutination test?
Agglutination serves to provide an idea of the presence of certain antibodies within the body. If specific antibodies against the antigen are present, the antibodies will combine with the antigens, coat the cells and cause the cells to join together, or agglutinate. It can be used to identify unknown antigens in diagnosing infections and to determine matching tissue types and blood groupings between two individuals.
When the antigens on erythrocytes bind with antibodies in the plasma?
Agglutination and eventual lysis of erythrocytes occurs.
What process involves antibodies cross-linking cells or particles into large aggregates?
agglutination
When antibodies bind antigens the clumping of antigens result from?
There are four reactions when antibodies react with antigens: agglutination, precipitation, neutralization or activation of complement. Agglutination is the clumping process that you are looking for.
Role of blocking buffer in latex agglutination?
To block the unwanted antigens or antibodies which are not bound to the latex
What is the function of antibodies?
Function of Antibodies is to fight against the antigens to protect the body
Why blood group o should not receive blood from other groups?
Blood group O has both a and b antibodies, therefore receiving blood from blood group A, the A-antigens will agglutinate with the b-antibodies of the person with blood group O. Receiving blood from blood group B will also cause agglutination of its b-antigens and the blood group O's a-antibodies.
