An antigen in red blood cells which reacts with a specific agglutinin in the plasma to cause a clumping of the cells.
A factor in red blood cells which reacts with a specific agglutinin in serum.
Substance that causes agglutinin production.
Any antigen that provokes formation of an agglutinin in the serum and is therefore likely to be involved in agglutination.
An antigen that stimulates production of an agglutinin — an antibody that causes agglutination or clumping of bacteria, blood cells or other antigenic particles. In the case of blood cells, this should not be confused with the clumping that happens in blood coagulation, which is a different process.
An antigen that stimulates the production of an agglutinin. Agglutinogens are used primarily in laboratory testing for antibodies against specific blood types.
A substance that acts as an antigen and prompts the creation of an agglutinin, commonly found in bacteria and red blood cells. The agglutinin subsequently causes these bacteria or red blood cells to cluster together, neutralizing them and making them easier for the body to eliminate. This mechanism is fundamental to preventive vaccinations against diseases.
