Agglutinating properties

Oxidized coal coal whose properties have been modified fundamentally as a result of chemisorptions of oxygen in the air or oxygen dissolved in ground-water. Chemisorption is a surface phenomenon rarely detectable by chemical analysis but usually detectable by petrographic examination. It reduces the affinity of coal surfaces for oil and seriously impairs coking, caking, and agglutinating properties.

Amorphous powder. Its toxicity and agglutination properties are destroyed by heating. 

A purified human monoclonal TgM (k) has been characterized as both a cold agglutinin and a cryoglobulin. Removal of neuraminic acid docs not affect its agglutination properties but the asialo-glycoprotein is no longer a cryoglobulin. The physical basis for its precipitation in the cold appears to be the intermolecular binding of AT-acetylneuraminic acid residues. 

Immunomodulatory active polysaccharides have been isolated from the aerial parts of . purpurea [118, 123]. Their pharmacological activity is well documented and will be reviewed in the chapters by Wagner et al. and Emmendorffer et al. in this volume [150, 151]. Lectins from Echinacea purpurea have been shown to possess agglutinative properties and it is argued that they may also have adaptogenic effects [86]. 

An active immobilized form of Penicillium funiculosum dextranase has been prepared by reaction with agarose cyclic imidocarbonate. Conditions have been established for the reaction of dextranase and concanavalin A with glutar-aldehyde to furnish a soluble, cross-linked derivative retaining both enzymic and agglutination properties, although the action pattern of the immobilized form differed from that of the free enzyme. ...
