2. Basic Immunologic Procedures Part 5 Agglutination
![Page 2: Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB 2. Basic Immunologic Procedures Part 5 Agglutination.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649efa5503460f94c0cdd8/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
AgglutinationDefinition – the clumping together of
antigen bearing cells, microorganisms or particles in the presence of specific antibodies.
Particles may be RBCs (hemagglutination), bacterial cells (coagglutination) or inert particles such as latex or charcoal coated with antigen or antibody
TWO step process:SensitizationLattice formation
![Page 3: Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB 2. Basic Immunologic Procedures Part 5 Agglutination.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649efa5503460f94c0cdd8/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
SensitizationAttachment of a single antibody to a single
antigen.Rapid and reversibleAffected by antibody affinity and avidity.IgM much more efficient than IgG.Antigen bearing surfaces must have
sufficient quantities present, if few are present or are obscured less likely to interact with antibody.

Sensitization – NOT Visible!

Lattice FormationSum of the interaction between antigens
and antibodies.Depends on environmental conditions and
concentrations of antigens and antibodies.Physiochemical factors which affect the
reaction:Ionic strengthpHTemperatureElectrical charges between cells if RBCs are
used, especially important for IgG

Lattice Formation - VISIBLE

Enhancement of AgglutinationAdditive to neutralize chargeViscosityTreatment of antigen with enzymesAgitation and centrifugationTemperature
IgM prefers room temperature (RT) or belowIgG prefers 37C = body temperature

Agglutination ReactionsAdvantages
Easy to carry outNo complicated equipment neededCan be performed as neededAvailable in pre-package kits with controls
Reactions are QUALITATIVE, i.e., positive or negative
Titers can be performed to give semi-quantitative results
![Page 9: Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB 2. Basic Immunologic Procedures Part 5 Agglutination.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649efa5503460f94c0cdd8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Direct AgglutinationAntigen found naturally on particle.Examples
Blood Grouping - antigen on cellBacterial seroyping – SalmonellaTest serum against bacteria which are
difficult to grow in culture: Tularemia, Rickettsial diseases, typhoid fever.
Hemagglutination kits available for measles antibody detection.

ABO Blood Grouping
![Page 11: Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB 2. Basic Immunologic Procedures Part 5 Agglutination.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649efa5503460f94c0cdd8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Hemagglutination –Microtiter PlateIn microtiter plate agglutinates will coat well.If NO agglutination the RBCs settle to the bottom
in a button.What is the titer of row 1? Submit with your
question.
![Page 12: Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB 2. Basic Immunologic Procedures Part 5 Agglutination.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649efa5503460f94c0cdd8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Passive AgglutinationBind known ANTIGENS to inert particles to
detect antibody.Particles used include:
RBCsPolystyrene or latex particlesBentonite particlesCharcoal particles
Artificial particles have advantages:Uniform consistencyStability
![Page 13: Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB 2. Basic Immunologic Procedures Part 5 Agglutination.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649efa5503460f94c0cdd8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Passive AgglutinationReactions easy to read macroscopically.Many antigens adsorb onto RBCs spontaneously,
tanned sheep RBCs frequently used.IgG naturally adsorbs onto surface of latex
particles.
![Page 14: Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB 2. Basic Immunologic Procedures Part 5 Agglutination.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649efa5503460f94c0cdd8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Passive AgglutinationThe following reaction uses latex particles.Which reaction is positive? Negative?Submit answer with your question for class.

Tests Using Passive AgglutinationAnti-nuclear antibodies (ANA)Group A strepRheumatoid FactorViral antibodies such as
cytomegalovirusrubella varicella-zoster
![Page 16: Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB 2. Basic Immunologic Procedures Part 5 Agglutination.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649efa5503460f94c0cdd8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Reverse Passive AgglutinationBind known ANTIBODY to carrier particle
instead of antigen.Must orient antibody so that active site is
facing outward.Used for detection of microbial antigens:
Group A and B StreptococcusStaphylococcus aureusNeisseria meningitidisHaemophilus influenzaeCryptococcus neoformansMycoplasma pneumoniaeCandida albicans
![Page 17: Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB 2. Basic Immunologic Procedures Part 5 Agglutination.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649efa5503460f94c0cdd8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Reverse Passive AgglutinationSome organisms difficult to grow OR
diagnosis needed so treatment can start.Widest application is in detecting soluble
antigens in urine, spinal fluid and serum.Extraction step may be required.Antigens present in these fluids will attach
to antibodies on particles.
![Page 18: Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB 2. Basic Immunologic Procedures Part 5 Agglutination.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649efa5503460f94c0cdd8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Reverse Passive Agglutination
Serologic Typing of Shigella: Positive Test
![Page 19: Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB 2. Basic Immunologic Procedures Part 5 Agglutination.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649efa5503460f94c0cdd8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Agglutination InhibitionBased on competition between particulate and
soluble antigens for limited antibody combining sites.
Patient sample added to reagent antibody specific for antigen being tested, if antigen is present it binds to reagent antibody.
Reagent particles (latex or RBCs) coated with the same antigen are added, if antigen was present in the sample all reagent antibody binds to it so no antibody is present to react with antigens coating the particles
NO agglutination = POSITIVE reaction.
![Page 20: Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB 2. Basic Immunologic Procedures Part 5 Agglutination.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649efa5503460f94c0cdd8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Agglutination Inhibition
![Page 21: Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB 2. Basic Immunologic Procedures Part 5 Agglutination.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649efa5503460f94c0cdd8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Agglutination Inhibition Microtiter plate In wells if agglutination occurs the clumps cover the well. No agglutination will allow the RBCs to flow down sides and
collect at the bottom. In row E wells 1-7 are positive – NO agglutination, 8 weakly
positive, wells 9 and 10 are negative.
![Page 22: Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB 2. Basic Immunologic Procedures Part 5 Agglutination.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649efa5503460f94c0cdd8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
CoagglutinationUses bacteria as the inert particle to which
antibodies are attached.Discovered Staphylococcus aureus has
protein A which adsorbs the Fc portion of antibody.
Highly specific but not as sensitive as latex agglutination.
Used for identification of streptococci, Neisseria meningitidis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Vibrio cholera 0139 and Haemophilus influenzae.
![Page 23: Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB 2. Basic Immunologic Procedures Part 5 Agglutination.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649efa5503460f94c0cdd8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
CoagglutinationName given to systems using bacteria as the inert
particles to which antibody is attached.
![Page 24: Terry Kotrla, MS, MT(ASCP)BB 2. Basic Immunologic Procedures Part 5 Agglutination.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649efa5503460f94c0cdd8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Complement FixationTwo step process
Antibody (patient serum), antigen are mixed with fresh complement.
Sensitized sheep cells added.If the patient antibody is absent the
complement is free to bind to the antibody coated sheep cells causing hemolysis.
If the antibody is present, the antigen-antibody bind the complement and no hemolysis will occur.
NO hemolysis is a POSITIVE reaction
