IMMUNOLOGY

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: -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-3: -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.
