True
Vaccines are preparations of organisms or fractions of organisms that are used to induce protective immune responses.
True
Agglutination tests use particulate antigens, while precipitation tests use soluble antigens.
False
In a vaccine preparation, the term "attenuated" means that the agent does NOT replicate.
True
Blood typing tests are examples of hemagglutination reactions.
True
The home pregnancy test kit is an example of a direct ELISA.
