The clumping of cells that are cross-linked by their attachments to antibodies is known as agglutination. Neutralization refers to the process of making a pathogen or toxin harmless by binding to it directly or blocking its ability to interact with receptors, opsonization is the process by which pathogens are marked for ingestion and destruction by phagocytes, and precipitation refers to the formation of a solid from a solution.
