Serological diagnostics of infectious diseases is based upon specific interaction with antigenes. Specify the serological reaction that underlies adhesion of microorganisms when they are affected by specific antibodies in presence of an electrolyte:

Answer options

1. Agglutination reaction
2. Precipitation reaction
3. Complement-binding reaction
4. Hemadsorption reaction
5. Neutralization reaction

Explanation

Serological diagnostics of infectious diseases is based upon specific interaction with antigens. Specify the serological reaction that underlies adhesion of microorganisms when they are affected by specific antibodies in presence of an electrolyte:The options are all antibody-antigen reactions. But Agglutination is characterized by the adhesion or clumping together of the antigens (microorganisms) after reacting with specific antibodies in presence of an electrolyte.
