- Checks the blood for antigens H (flagellar) and O (somatic). These antigens cause typhoid infection. If there is an infection, there will be antibodies in the blood. The test checks for these antibodies
- How the antibodies and antigens interact with each other are analysed
- The reaction of the antibodies and the antigens causes the blood to clump. The agglutination method checks for this
