[Alcian blue induced mixed cell agglutination--short communication].
Because of its specific affinity to negatively charged sites of the cell surface, alcian blue is suitable to effect mixed cell agglutination between human erythrocytes and peritoneal macrophages of guinea pigs. This effect could be inhibited by adding heparin molecules which were negatively charged as well.
