The word agglutination comes from the Latin agglutinare, meaning \"to glue.\"Agglutination occurs if an antigen is mixed with its corresponding antibody called isoagglutinin. This term is commonly used in blood grouping.This occurs in biology in three main examples: The clumping of cells such as bacteria or red blood cells in the presence of an antibody or complement. The antibody or other molecule binds multiple particles and joins them, creating a large complex. This increases the efficacy of microbial elimination by phagocytosis as large clumps of bacteria can be eliminated in one pass, versus the elimination of single microbial antigens. Another example occurs when people are given blood transfusions of the wrong blood group. The coalescing of small particles that are suspended in a solution; these larger masses are then (usually) precipitated.↑"@en }
