Agglutinogens are antigens present on the surface of red blood cells that determine blood type, while agglutinins are antibodies that bind to agglutinogens causing red blood cells to clump together or agglutinate. Agglutinogens define blood type A, B, AB, or O, while agglutinins are part of the immune response to foreign blood types.

agglutinogens are substances that stimulate the formation of agglutinin. Agglutinins are substances that cause agglutination (clumping reaction) of particular antigens.
