What effect does temperature have on agglutination reactions?

10 February 2023 1 4K Report

Is considering temperature when evaluating aggregation really necessary?

Temperature greatly affects agglutination reaction depending on the antibodies present. IgM usually optimally react at room temperature or below 22 degrees Celsius while IgG antibodies usually optimally react at body temperature or 37 degrees Celsius (Harmening, 2019, p. 67).
