Antigen-Antibody Interaction: The Ouchterlony Procedure

Description:

Introduce your students to the principles of antigen-antibody interactions by using the Ouchterlony procedure. Antibodies and antigens form complexes that precipitate, making it possible to assay antibody-antigen systems. The binding interaction results in the formation of a white precipitate after diffusion in agarose.

Features:

• Recognize the patterns created by different reactions (identity, partial identity, non-identity)

Includes:

Instructions, animal serum antigens & antibodies, practice gel loading solution, agarose, powdered buffer, transfer pipets, petri plates, well cutters, microtest tubes.
