Antibody specificity, or the capacity to bind to epitopes, is one of the key features of an antibody. Many different types of serological tests rely on this. Several bacteria and viruses can be identified by studying the reaction between an antibody and its associated antigen. Agglutination, precipitation, or activation of the complement system are all possible outcomes of this interaction. What is Agglutination? The process of agglutination involves the clustering of cells caused by the accumulation of antigens and antibodies. When an antibody binds to many antigens at once, bigger complexes are formed, which may then be seen. Particulate antigens ... Read More
