foreign particles bound together by cement into a test.
Clumping or gathering together of cells (usually red blood cells) into a mass. Normally each cell exists separately.
a clumping of bacteria or red cells when held together by antibodies (agglutinins)
the coalescing of small particles that are suspended in solution; these larger masses are then (usually) precipitated
The sticking together (clumping) of sperm. This can often indicate the presence of sperm antibodies.
The clumping together of antigen-bearing cells or particles in the presence of specific antibodies.
A specific reaction whereby viruses link together microscopic foreign particles such as red blood cells. This causes visible clumping.
Clumping together. Sperm may clump together due to infection, inflammation or antibodies.
The occurrence of sperm clumping together, making it difficult for the sperm to easily swim. close window
of Sperm: Sticking together of sperm.
The formation of insoluble aggregates following the combination of antibodies with cells or other particulate antigens or with soluble antigens bound to cells or other particles or following the combination of soluble (or particulate) antigens with cell-bound or particle-bound antibodies. ( 16)
Act of sperm clumping together, often in response to anti-sperm antibodies
When sperm clump together.
The aggregation of particulate antigen by antibodies. Agglutination applies to red blood cells as well as to bacteria and inert particles covered with antigen.
clumping together, as of sperm, often due to infection, inflammation, or antibodies
The sticking together of insoluble antigens such as bacteria, viruses, or erythrocytes caused by a specific antibody. Agglutination assays are used to type human blood before a transfusion.
The aggregation of red blood cells due to interactions between surface antigens and plasma antibodies.
Agglutination is the clumping of particles. The word agglutination comes from the Latin agglutinare, "to glue to."
