Abstract

Radial immunodiffusion can be used to determine relative antigen-antibody avidities in exactly the same way as demonstrated previously for quantitative immunoelectrophoresis (Birkmeyer et al., 1981). Antigen-antibody interactions of greater avidity result in greater value of (Δ Area/Δ [Antigen]) in plots of immunoprecipitin circle area versus antigen concentration while interactions of equal avidity will yield equal values of (Δ Area/Δ [Antigen]). This was demonstrated using antigens of different weight ranging from 8000 to 66,000.
