immunodiffusion
Sign in to saveImmunodiffusion is a laboratory technique used to detect and quantify antigens and antibodies by observing their interactions within a gel medium. This technique involves the diffusion of antigens and antibodies through a gel, usually agar, resulting in the formation of a visible precipitate when they interact.

Immunodiffusion is a laboratory technique used to detect and quantify antigens and antibodies by observing their interactions within a gel medium. This technique involves the diffusion of antigens and antibodies through a gel, usually agar, resulting in the formation of a visible precipitate when they interact.
== Applications == Immunodiffusion techniques are widely used in immunology for various purposes, including: Determining antigen content Identifying immunoglobulin classes Evaluating antibodies Estimating serum transferrin and alpha-fetoprotein levels Comparing properties of different antigens
