Analysis Note
Agglutination activity is expressed in μg/ml and is determined from serial dilutions of a 1 mg/ml solution using phosphate buffered saline, pH 6.8. This activity is the lowest concentration to agglutinate a 2% suspension of papain-treated human erythrocytes after 1 hr incubation at 25 °C.
Biochem/physiol Actions
