Abstract

Serologic studies on feral, colony-held cynomolgus monkeys indicated that 61% reacted to Coxiella burnetii antigens, and 36% reacted to Rickettsia conorii antigens. The results suggest that a high percentage of cynomolgus monkeys have been exposed to these organisms.

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.
