Question
Chapter 36.4, Problem 7RIA
Summary Introduction
To describe: The immunoelectrophoresis technique.
Introduction: Immunoelectrophoresis involves the separation of those antigens that are too complex to be precipitated out by simple diffusion. These antigens are then visualized through the process of precipitation reaction. This assay is primarily used to separate the major serum proteins.
