Blue dextran-mediated hemagglutination.
Blue dextran at low concentrations (0.1-1 ng/ml) agglutinated human, mouse, rabbit and rat erythrocytes. This agglutination was inhibited by 10% calf serum, 0.5 mg/ml bovine albumin and 0.2 M sodium thiocyanate, and less effectively by 1.5 M potassium chloride, but not by 30-50 mM magnesium sulfate.
