Question
Chapter 17.3, Problem 11AYP
Summary Introduction
To compare:
Precipitation with agglutination with one example of each used in disease diagnosis.
Concept introduction:
Agglutination is a process when an antigen binds to an antibody and clumping occurs. The antibody to which the antigen binds is termed as isoagglutinin. This process is majorly used to determine blood group.
