1903 Med. Age 25 July 549 Joos..reports..that the aforethought single agglutinating body in typhoid serum is not single, but consists of two substances: the a-agglutinogen is rapidly destroyed at a temperature of 60° C., whereas the b-agglutinogen will withstand this temperature for several hours.
1916 Jrnl. Infectious Dis. 19 821 The typhus immune serum was tested against agglutinogens made of organisms resembling somewhat the typhus bacilli.
1953 R. W. Fairbrother Text-bk. Bacteriol. (ed. 7) x. 131 The corpuscles of a group O person do not possess either agglutinogen and are therefore not agglutinated by any serum; these persons have consequently been termed ‘universal donors’.
2005 Jrnl. Infectious Dis. 191 84/1 Extensive characterization of the fimbriae (agglutinogens) of B[ordetella] pertussis has been achieved.
