Agglutinative
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to agglutination; tending to unite, or having power to cause adhesion; adhesive.
(a.) Formed or characterized by agglutination, as a language or a compound.
Example Sentences:

(5) Most cis AB sera have anti-B activity, essentially at 4 degrees C. In saliva A and H substances are found in normal amounts but B substance is only evidenced by inhibition of autologous cells agglutination.
(6) We put forward the hypothesis that the agglutinability in acriflavine, together with the PAGE profile type II, may be associated with particular structures responsible for virulence.
