Agglutination is the Consequence Of

Question

Agglutination is the consequence of
A) antigen-antibody interaction.
B) the binding of IgG antibodies to mast cells.
C) the effect of histamine on the smooth muscle of the lungs and blood vessels.
D) activation of blood coagulation factors.

Accepted Answer

Agglutination is the clumping of particles, such as bacteria or red blood cells, that occurs when antibodies bind to antigens on their surfaces. This interaction is mediated by the binding of the Fc region of the antibody to Fc receptors on other cells, leading to cross-linking and clumping. Therefore, agglutination is a consequence of the antigen-antibody interaction.
