he·mag·glu·ti·na·tion in·hi·bi·tioninhibition of nonimmune hemagglutination by antibody specific for the hemagglutinin; for example, viral hemagglutination will not occur if antibody specific for the virus is added before addition of red blood cells. The inhibition is specific and is widely used for virus identification and for antibody determination.hemagglutination inhibitionA laboratory test in which the lack of agglutination (clumping) of red blood cells (RBCs) indicates that antibodies are present in the patient's blood. Certain viruses (e.g., mumps, measles, rubella, adenovirus) bind with RBCs and cause clumping. However, antibodies, if present, quickly bind with the virus, preventing viral binding to RBCs and the resulting agglutination. See: agglutinationSee also: inhibitionAcronymsSeeHAI |
