Explain how agglutination and precipitation reactions are alikeand how they are different.
Explain what is the agglutination reaction: WHAT agglutinates with what? Agglutination is the positive or negative result? WHY?
Centrifugation is the first step in most fractionations, but it separates only components that differ greatly in size. Compare and contrast very high, high, medium, and low-speed centrifugations of supernatant mixtures. Define the following: SDS Polyacrylamide-Gel Electrophoresis and Immunoprecipitation
