Question
Chapter 17.4, Problem 13CYP
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Agglutination and precipitation reactions have essential differences in their size, solubility and their location of antigen. In both cases, Ag and Ab combined in optimal quantity form an insoluble three-dimensional aggregate which cannot remain suspended and ultimately settles down.
