Problem:
Agglutination test
Latex agglutination using bound antigens : by coating soluble (non - particulate ) antigens on to microscopic latex spheres, their reaction with a particular antibody can be visualized.
Haemagglutination : red blood cells can be used as agglutinating particles.
Required:
Question 1: What are non-particulate antigens ? Why are they used instead of particulate ones ?
Question 2: How are red blood cells used as agglutinating particles ?
Could someone explain this to me?
