Immunotechnology

• Agglutination: Reaction of soluble antibodies with insoluble or cellular antigens to form a visible lattice(clumping)
• Precipitation: Similar to agglutination except antigen is not attached to cells or particles.
• Antigens: Substance that elicits an immune response
• Antibodies: Proteins produced by B-lymphocytes in response to the presence of the antigen that induced that cell
