Question

What is the end result of agglutination in the immune response?

Options

• Neutralization of toxins only

• Direct cell lysis and inflammation

• Easier removal by immune cells

• Enhanced phagocytic uptake

Answer 1

Agglutination results in the clumping of antigens through multivalent antibody-antigen binding. The end result of this clumping is that the aggregated antigens are more easily removed by immune cells.
