Antibodies can cause all of the listed reactions. Agglutination and precipitation occur when antibodies bind to multiple antigens, causing them to clump together. Neutralization occurs when antibodies bind to toxins or viruses, preventing them from causing harm to the body's cells. Opsonization occurs when antibodies bind to pathogens, marking them for destruction by immune cells such as macrophages.
