AGGLUTINATION TEST

 

Is a positive result seen with

Agglutination or no agglutination??

(See Jackie book pg. 212)

Definition

 

 

NO agglutination.

 

Antibodies in test kit are bound to antigens in patient's serum, so don't agglutinate when antigen-coated particles are added to the solution

Term

 

 

What is the

PROZONE PHENOMENON

?

Definition

 

Too much ANTIBODY

in a precipitation test results in

VERY LITTLE AGGLUTINATION

Term

What is the

 

POST ZONE

 

phenomenon?

Definition

 

 

Too much

ANTIGEN

in a precipitation reaction

resulting in less precipitation than

in equivalence zone
