Does anyone have any idea what it is? (Something to do with epitopes and antibodies?)

It is a precipitation between Soluble antigen & soluble antibody :arrow: at optimal concentration :arrow: Lattice structure
Radial immunidiffusion: putting patient serum into the well & Anti_human IgG into an agar medium :arrow: Measure the radius of the zone of precipitation
It is excellent test for quantitation level of IgG, IgM, IgA, but not for IgD, IgE
IgD, IgE at the very small level :arrow: can be detected by ELISA or Radioimmunoassay whic are more sensitive tests

thanks for the description phulong, can u pls tell me how to interpret the results of this immunodiffusion though? For example by the lattice structure, how would I identify which antigens have produced specific antibodies or not, im stumped up on this question from Qbook, micro test #1
