Amount of various immunoglobulin classes can be measured by

  • A.double diffusion in one dimension
  • B.single diffusion in two dimensions
  • C.single diffusion in one dimension
  • D.double diffusion in two dimensions

Answer: B

Correct answer: single diffusion in two dimensions

This is single radial immunodiffusion, the Mancini technique: antibody is incorporated into the gel and antigen is placed in a well, so only the antigen diffuses - hence single - and it spreads radially in two dimensions. The area of the ring of precipitate is proportional to the antigen concentration, which makes the method quantitative.
