Question
Chapter 36.4, Problem 5RIA
Summary Introduction
To determine: The condition when immunoprecipitation reactions occur.
Introduction: Immunoprecipitation technique is utilized to determine the soluble antigens called precipitins that can react to the antibodies. This reaction is seen when bivalent (having two different binding sites) or multivalent (having multiple binding sites) antibodies are mixed in appropriate proportions with the antigens.
