Abstract

In the serum of Wistar rats following intraperitoneal application of methylcellulose (Kabi) the presence of the aggregation factor was confirmed. Using the more sensitive immunohaematological method-enzyme tests-we proved the agglutination phenomenon, which can be of antibody nature and cannot be induced under the test conditions in vitro by action of methylcellulose on blood cells and serum of normal rats. The described phenomenon will only occur if methylcellulose "passes" the organism of the experimental animal.

Antibodies: Agglutination

Antibody-mediated agglutination is the clumping of cells in the presence of antibody, which binds multiple cells together. This enhances the clearance of pathogens. Find the latest research on antibody-mediated agglutination here.
