agglutination
The clumping together of red cells in blood as a result of antibodies attaching to antigens on the surface of the cells. This occurs when blood of incompatible types is mixed together outside of the body, as for example during blood typing. When different types of blood come into contact within the body as a result of a mismatched transfusion, the alien red cells usually burst instead of agglutinate.
