IgM Immunoglobulin: Role in Agglutination and Primary Immune Response

What immunoglobulin is associated with agglutination?

IgM

The immunoglobulin M (IgM) is associated with agglutination as it has ten antigen-binding sites that allow for the binding of multiple antigens at once. This results in the formation of large immune complexes that can cause agglutination or clumping of cells or particles. IgM is the largest immunoglobulin and is produced initially during the primary immune response to an antigen.
