The clumping of cells that occurs as a result of an antigen-antibody reaction is called?
When an antigen and antibody react it causes cells to clump together. The term used to describe the clumping of cells is called agglutination.
An antibody reacts to what antigen?
An antibody reacts to the specific antigen it is made to attach to. It is like the lock and key model; it locks onto the antigen.
A clumping of antigen-to-antibody particles during an immunoassay such as the modern pregnancy test is known as?
agglutination
What is an antiganglioside?
An antiganglioside is an antibody which reacts to self-gangliosides, found in autoimmune neuropathies.
Why clumping takes place when ab blood group is given to o group?
due to antigen antibody reaction. it is the principal of the blood group
What cause blood clumping?
Platelets, fibrin
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.
Which components in Anti-a and Anti-B sera caused clumping?
The components of Anti-A and Anti-B sera that cause clumping are the antibodies. When they interact with the A and B antigens, clumping results.
Why in type ab blood there is agglutination in anti A serum and anti B serum?
As Blood type O contains Anti-A-Antibodies and Anti-B-Antibodies (not Antigens) Anti-A-Serum contains Anti-A-Antibodies (which reacts with A antigen not antibody) Anti-B-Serum contains Anti-B-Antibodies (which reacts with B antigen not antibody) so antibody in antiserum will not find any antigen in blood-group O to react with so no Clumping
What happens when antibody A reacts with B plus blood?
Antibody A is anti-B. So when these react, the RBC agglutinate and hemolysis occurs. Expect acute renal failure and death.
Is agglutinin is called antibody?
Yes, When the immune system cause cross linking of cells or particles an agglutination reaction occurs and the responsible antibody is an agglutinin
What is aggultination?
aggulutination is the clumping of particlesThis occurs in biology in three main examples:The clumping of cells such as bacteria or red blood cells in the presence of an antibody. The antibody or other molecule binds multiple particles and joins them, creating a large complex.The coalescing of small particles that are suspended in a solution; these larger masses are then (usually) precipitated.An allergic reaction type occurrence where cells become more compacted together to prevent foreign materials entering them. This is usually the result of an antigen in the vicinity of the cells.
