Abstract

This cross-sectional study in late 1996 on a group of 230 consecutive blood donors in Yaoundé, Cameroon, found a baseline titre of 1:100 for antisalmonella O antibodies. The seroprevalence and baseline titre for antisalmonella H antibodies was much higher (1:400), suggesting that the H antibody is of limited diagnostic value in Cameroon.

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.
