Which preparations of antibodies will be able to cause hemagglutination?
IgG
F(ab')2
Fab
I know IgM is good for hemagglutination, so I assume that IgG should work as well. But what about the antibody fragments? F(ab')2 has the regions that actually make contact with the RBC, and are also still joined together. Fab, however, isn't linked together any longer. I'm just unsure of what all does or doesn't allow for agglutination. Help?
