APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Agglutination is the process that occurs if an antigen is mixed with its corresponding antibody called isoagglutinin. This term is commonly used in blood grouping. This occurs in biology in two main examples: The clumping of cells such as bacteria or red blood cells in the presence of an antibody or complement.

Detailed explanation-2: -Agglutination, which refers to the clumping of particles together, is an antigen-antibody reaction that occurs when an antigen (i.e., a molecule capable of triggering the adaptive immune response) is mixed with its corresponding antibody at a suitable pH and temperature.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is Agglutination? Agglutination is the clumping together of blood cells. Red blood cells are also known as erythrocytes and the clumping of erythrocytes is a process called hemagglutination. However, the less common form of agglutination is also called leukoagglutination or the clumping of white blood cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Agglutination occurs with most types of antibodies, but most prominently occurs with IgM and IgG antibodies.
