Agglutination involves the clumping together of insoluble molecules. So you easily this happening with the naked eye. Precipitation involves the aggregation of soluble molecules.

What is a difference between passive and active agglutination?

The only difference between the two is with active agglutination you have a particulate Ag + Ab, since the Ag is particulate, large, when a complex is formed it is visable. In passive agglutination the Ag is soluble so it must first be attached to something like latex beeds or a carrier so when agglutination occurs it can be seen with the naked eye.


Can Precipitation reaction be converted into agglutination reaction?

Ppt. rxns can be transformed to agglutination rxns by attaching the soluble antigen or hapten to an inner carrier like an erythrocyte or latex beads; a process called passive agglutination.

When antibodies bind antigens the clumping of antigens result from?

There are four reactions when antibodies react with antigens: agglutination, precipitation, neutralization or activation of complement. Agglutination is the clumping process that you are looking for.
