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.

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.
Which test involves placing samples of an unknown bacterium in saline adding different antisera and checking for clumping?
The test you are referring to is called the slide agglutination test. In this test, samples of an unknown bacterium are mixed with different types of antibodies (antisera) and observed under a microscope. If the antibodies react with the bacteria, clumps or aggregates will form, indicating a positive result.
How does agglutination occur in blood group?
agglutination occurs depending on what your blood type group deems as an invader. one blood type group may deem wheat lectins as harmfull and will cause the blood to agglutinate in order to protect / repair.... another will not. simply put " one mans food is another mans poison "
What is clumping of red blood cells when they are mixed with antiserum?
agglutination
Important effector function of antibody molecules is?
agglutination of antigenic particles.
Is pregnancy test an antigen-antibody 'agglutination' or 'preciptation' reaction?
Its an agglutination test
What is an agglutination test?

What is reverse agglutination?
test in which the biological fluid is tested for the presence of antigen
What are the types of agglutination?
Direct agglutination Passive agglutination Reverse passive agglutination
A clumping of antigen-to-antibody particles during an immunoassay such as the modern pregnancy test is known as?
agglutination

What is Normalized Test?
Widal test is a serological test used to detect enteric fever by using agglutination rection of antibodies present in the serum of typhoid patient and o-somatic and H-flgellar antigens.
When was Agglutination Metal Festival created?
Agglutination Metal Festival was created in 1995.
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.
Breakdown of recipient's red blood cells when incompatible bloods are mixed?
agglutination
What is latex agglutination test?
Latex agglutination test is a diagnostic method that uses latex beads coated with antibodies to detect antigens or antibodies in a sample. When the target substance is present, it binds to the latex particles, causing them to clump together or agglutinate, which can be visualized and interpreted as a positive result. It is commonly used in clinical laboratories for rapid and sensitive detection of various infections and autoimmune diseases.
Which of the following is a pregnancy test used to find the fetal hormone HCG in a woman's urine using anti-HCG and latex spheres?
passive agglutination reaction
