When antibodies bind antigens, the clumping of antigens results from ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The clumping of antigens, also known as agglutination, results from the antibody having at least two binding regions that can bind to two or more antigens at the same time, causing them to cross-link and form a visible cluster. Disulfide bridges between the antigens, bonds between class I and class II MHC molecules, nor denaturation of the antibodies are involved in the process of agglutination.
