agglutinate

The data presented in Table 3 revealed non-haemagglutination inhibitory effects of N-acetylgalactosamine, N-acetylglucosamine, D-glucose, D-galactose, D-lactose, and D-rhamnose on the agglutinability of MSHA and MRHA strains to guinea pig erythrocyte.

Nevertheless, the ability of our MSHA and MRHA strains to display agglutinability to erythrocytes of rabbit, rat, chicken, horse, and sheep indicated broad-spectrum haemagglutinating activity of Shigella haemagglutinins.

the agglutinability of haemagglutinins to erythrocytes was only found inhibitable by glycoproteins, such as mucin, by sialofetuin and asialofetuin (21).

That L-fucose inhibits the haemagglutination reaction of six of the Shigella haemagglutinins tested may underscore the unpredictability of agglutinability of bacterial haemagglutinins in vitro until they are tested.
