Hemagglutination inhibition test

Hemagglutinin (HA) -containing viruses can agglutinate human or animal red blood cells, which is called hemagglutination. Hemagglutination can be inhibited by the corresponding antibody called hemagglutination inhibition test, a technique for measuring antigens or antibodies. That is, after adding a specific antibody or specific antigen, the original hemagglutination reaction is suppressed.
