What's the difference between adhesion and conglutination?
Adhesion
Definition:
(n.) The action of sticking; the state of being attached; intimate union; as, the adhesion of glue, or of parts united by growth, cement, or the like.
(n.) Adherence; steady or firm attachment; fidelity; as, adhesion to error, to a policy.
(n.) Agreement to adhere; concurrence; assent.
(n.) The molecular attraction exerted between bodies in contact. See Cohesion.
(n.) Union of surface, normally separate, by the formation of new tissue resulting from an inflammatory process.
(n.) The union of parts which are separate in other plants, or in younger states of the same plant.

(20) P-selectin (CD62) is a rapidly inducible cell surface adhesion molecule that is expressed on platelets and endothelial cells and mediates their interaction with leukocytes.
Conglutination
Definition:
(n.) A gluing together; a joining by means of some tenacious substance; junction; union.
Example Sentences:
(1) The amino acid sequence of the smaller subunit of conglutin gamma, the simplest of the three globulins from the seeds of Lupinus angustifolius cv.
(2) These were consistent with the existence of a multi-gene family coding for conglutin delta.
(3) Thus, despite the demonstration of tubal patency, the function of the rather delicate fimbria may be compromised by periadnexal adhesions, conglutinations, and hydatids so that only a fraction of those eggs that leave the ovary at ovulation reach the interior of the fallopian tube.
(4) Type 3 sera both directly conglutinated and sensitized sheep E-rabbit A for conglutination.
(5) The histological check-up demonstrated that neurotoxic side-effects were absent and there were no conglutinations with the dura.
(6) Since conglutination was shown to be inhibited specifically by N-acetylglucosamine [Leon, M.A.
(7) Conglutinin is a bovine plasma protein which mediates the agglutination of the sensitized erythrocyte-solid phase iC3b complex (conglutination).
(8) Proceeding from the latter the author suggests the test of the conglutinating complex fixation which proved to be effective in detection of antibodies inactive in the agglutination and complement fixation tests.
(9) If the sera that inhibit conglutination when diluted to 1: 40 or more are considered as reactive, the sensitivity of the test is 93.7% (six sera were anticomplementary).
(10) These lesions cause anoxic and necrotic damage of the parenchyma and, in certain cases, the appearance of serious haemorrhagic syndromes where the initial stage is the conglutination of the erytrocytes followed by disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome.
(11) Direct conglutinating activity of type 3 sera was inhibited by heating serum at 50 degrees C for 30 min and was not restored by alternative activation pathway factor B. Chelation of Ca2+ in type 2 and 3 sera blocked sensitization of sheep E-rabbit A for conglutination by bovine conglutinin, indicating that the classical activation pathway was involved.
(12) Measurement of the degree of cicatrization, determination of the free hydroxyproline in serum, and histological findings helped to demonstrate that local application of rifamycin SV leads to an increased fibrinous conglutination of the lips of the wound at an early phase of the healing process and the subsequent formation of fibres in the regenerative tissue is not impaired.
