Why doesn‘t the highly diluted antibody agglutinate the red blood cells in the wells?

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ The highly diluted antibody does not agglutinate the red blood cells in the wells because the concentration of the antibody is too low to cross-link the antigens on the surface of the red blood cells effectively. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Antibody concentration: When the antibody is highly diluted, its concentration is significantly reduced. This means there are fewer antibody molecules available to bind to the antigens on the red blood cells. ‖‖ b ⋮ Cross-linking: For agglutination to occur, antibodies must cross-link antigens on the surface of multiple red blood cells. A high enough concentration of antibodies is required to form these cross-links. ‖‖ c ⋮ Insufficient binding: In a highly diluted solution, the probability of an antibody binding to antigens on different red blood cells is low, preventing the formation of the lattice structure necessary for agglutination. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Antibody concentration and cross-linking ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ A highly diluted antibody solution lacks sufficient antibody molecules to effectively cross-link antigens on the red blood cells, which is necessary for agglutination to occur. ⚹◊What specific mechanism prevents the highly diluted antibody from agglutinating the red blood cells in the wells?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
