Abstract
VARIOUS methods have been devised for the quantitative analysis of precipitating antigen–antibody systems in gels1–4. Because they each involve intricate and time-consuming measurements there still exists the need for a simple assay technique in which conditions are readily stabilized and duplicated, and in which the end-point does not depend on the precise measurement of precipitation band distances. Such a method is now reported.
