LATTICE THEORYthe interaction of multivalent antige
n with multivalent antibody will, at o
ptimum proportions of each (zone of
equivalence), result in the formation
of a lattice and a precipitate.
Ag excess = early infection.
Ab excess= late in infection

Zone of antibody excess (Prozone)
precipitation is inhibited and antibody not
bound to antigen can be detected in the
supernatant
Zone equivalence
Maximal precipitation in which antibody and
antigen form large insoluble complexes and
neither antibody nor antigen can be detected
in the supernatant;
Zone of antigen excess (Postzone)
Precipitation is inhibited & Ag. not bound to
Ab. can be detected in the supernatant

In electro-immunodiffusion, diffusion is combined with electrophoresis
Electrophoresis separates antigen molecules according to differences in
their electrical charges and molecular weight then specific antibodies
diffuse and react with separated antigen forming precipitin bands.

Measurement of Precipitation by Light
26
Antigen-antibody complexes, when formed, will precipitate in a solution
resulting in a turbid or cloudy appearance that can be measured by:
Turbidimetry Nephelometry
Passing light through a
cloudy solution. (Net
decrease in light
intensity)
Measuring light scattered at a particular
angle after being passed through a
solution i.e. indirect measure.
Amount of light scattered correlates to the
concentration of the solution
