Solution

Yes, if you see clotting or the formation of a precipitate in a well after adding an antiserum containing antibodies, it indicates that the blood contains that specific antigen. This is because the antibodies in the antiserum are designed to bind to the specific antigen, forming visible clumps. This is the basis of the blood-typing test.
