Abstract

Anti-streptococcal T4 titres in human sera tend to be higher in normal sera of the Hp type hp 2-2 than in normal sera of hp 2-1 subjects. If the sera are heated above a temperature of 50 degrees C the difference disappeared and the titres are reduced. When heating sera to 63 degrees for 10 min no agglutination activity for T4 streptococci can be observed.

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.
