Clinical Info |
Isoagglutinins are antibodies produced by an individual that cause agglutination of RBCs in other individuals. People possess isoagglutinins directed toward the A or B antigen absent from their own RBCs. For example, type B or O individuals will usually possess anti-A. The anti-A is formed in response to exposure to A-like antigenic structures found in ubiquitous non-red cell biologic entities (eg, bacteria). |
