Agglutination reaction. Agglutination refers to a clumping that occurs when an antigen comes into contact with its corresponding antibody. This process mimics what happens in the body when antibodies cause antigens to agglutinate, promoting easy removal of the infectious organism.
Cytopathology is a branch of pathology involving the study and diagnosis of diseases at the cellular level using a light microscope. Traditionally the discipline has been divided into cervical cytopathology (commonly referred to as cervical cytology) and diagnostic cytopathology. Diagnostic cytology is mainly used for diagnosis of cancer in many parts of the body.
Specifically, in clinical medicine, histopathology refers to the examination of a biopsy or surgical specimen by a pathologist, after the specimen has been processed and histological sections have been placed onto glass slides.n the case of cancer, this represents the tissue diagnosis required for most treatment protocols. In the removal of cancer, the pathologist will indicate whether the surgical margin is cleared, or is involved (residual cancer is left behind). This is done using either the bread loafing or CCPDMA method of processing.
