During blood transfusion, agglutination may occur as a result of the reaction between

A. contrasting antigens and antibodies

B. two different antigens

C. two different antibodies

D. similar antigens and antibodies

Detailed Solution

For example, take the blood group A, it has antigen A and antibody B. When the anti-A antibody is used on this blood group, it causes a clumping. The anti-A antibody contains Antigen A. Hence, the clumping which is called AGGLUTINATION.
