Syn.: partial agglutinin, minor agglutinin. The partial agglutinin present in an agglutinative serum which acts on a different organism than the one used for producing the serum and in a lower dilution. Thus typhoid immune serum may agglutinate the typhoid bacillus in a dilution of 1 to 1,000 by means of its haupt-agglutinin and also agglutinate the colon bacillus in a solution of 1 to 200. [Gr.]
