agglutination
(redirected from agglutinate)

agglutination

In biology, the clumping together of antigens, such as red blood cells or bacteria, to form larger, visible clumps, under the influence of antibodies. Because each antigen clumps only in response to its particular antibody, agglutination provides a way of determining blood groups and the identity of unknown bacteria.
