Kauffman–White classification. The Kauffmann–White classification or Kauffmann and White classification scheme [1] [2] is a system that classifies the genus Salmonella into serotypes, based on surface antigens. It is named after Philip Bruce White and Fritz Kauffmann [ de]. First the "O" antigen type is determined based on oligosaccharides ...
The word agglutination comes from the Latin agglutinare (glueing to). Agglutination is a reaction in which particles (as red blood cells or bacteria) suspended in a liquid collect into clumps usually as a response to a specific antibody. Agglutination (clumping) of red blood cells. This occurs in biology in two main examples:

[1] The assay is a solid-phase type of enzyme immunoassay (EIA) to detect the presence of a ligand (commonly a protein) in a liquid sample using ...
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA, also known as kallikrein III, seminin, semenogelase, γ-seminoprotein and P-30 antigen) is a 34- kD glycoprotein produced almost exclusively by the prostate gland. It is a serine protease ( EC 3.4.21.77) enzyme, the gene of which is located on the 19th chromosome (19q13) in humans.
Rapid plasma reagin. The rapid plasma reagin test ( RPR test or RPR titer) is a type of rapid diagnostic test that looks for non-specific antibodies in the blood of the patient that may indicate an infection by syphilis or related non-venereal treponematoses. It is one of several nontreponemal tests for syphilis (along with the Wassermann test ...
