| somatic agglutinin | An agglutinin that is formed as the result of stimulation by, and that reacts with, the relatively thermostable antigen(s) in the cell bodies of microorganisms. Synonym: somatic agglutinin. See ABO blood group. (05 Mar 2000) |

| immune agglutinin | 1. An antibody that causes clumping or agglutination of the bacteria or other cells which either stimulated the formation of the agglutinin, or contain immunologically similar, reactive antigen. Synonym: agglutinating antibody, immune agglutinin. 2. A substance, other than a specific agglutinating antibody, that causes organic particles to agglutinate, commonly qualified, e.g., plant agglutinin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| incomplete agglutinin | Antibody that binds to antigen but does not induce agglutination. These antibodies are usually of the IgG class and are referred to as incomplete antibody. (05 Mar 2000) |
| O agglutinin | An agglutinin that is formed as the result of stimulation by, and that reacts with, the relatively thermostable antigen(s) in the cell bodies of microorganisms. Synonym: somatic agglutinin. See ABO blood group. (05 Mar 2000) |
| flagellar agglutinin | An agglutinin that is formed as the result of stimulation by, and which reacts with, the thermolabile antigen(s) in the flagella of motile strains of microorganisms. Synonym: flagellar agglutinin. See ABO blood group. (05 Mar 2000) |
