On the autoagglutination reaction
Autoagglutination is typically defined as the agglutination of erythrocytes by the serum of the same individual at room temperature. However, at 37°C, agglutination does not typically occur. The specific factors that contribute to this phenomenon, including the characteristics of the erythrocytes, the serum, or the presence of unique substances derived from tissue metabolism, remain unclear. According to Neud, autoagglutination is one of the causes of postoperative thrombophlebitis, infarction, and is observed almost as a rule (80%) in cancer. Furthermore, the author indicates that autoagglutination in liver cirrhosis is of special interest, as he was able to arrange in vitro autoagglutination with preparations obtained from the liver.
