GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Agglutination is gradually caused by the formation of various antigens and antibodies which complexes and occurs at room temperature. Auto Agglutination is also produced which is a result of red blood cells mixing with the antibodies and antigens.

Detailed explanation-2: -If your blood cells agglutinate, or clump together, it means your sample has reacted with one of the antibodies. This is called forward typing. Next, the technician will perform reverse typing. This calls for some of your serum to be mixed with type A and type B cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -When antibodies are mixed with their corresponding antigens on the surface of large, easily sedimented particles such as animal cells, erythrocytes, or bacteria, the antibodies cross-link the particles, forming visible clumps. This reaction is termed agglutination.

Detailed explanation-4: -Agglutination is defined as specific clumping of particulates such as cells or cell-sized objects. Antibodies and lectins are two types of reagents which, because they bind to specific targets, can cause agglutination of particulates.
