Thermo Scientific™ Pierce™ Immunodiffusion Plates, Multiple Pattern
Description
Thermo Scientific™ Pierce Immunodiffusion Plates are standard Ouchterlony gel plates containing patterns of six wells around one well for studying and characterizing antibody-antigen binding interactions.
When multivalent antigens combine with divalent antibodies in solution, three-dimensional lattices are formed that aggregate and precipitate. The amount of precipitate varies in proportion to the concentration of the antigen and antibody. At equivalent or optimal proportions almost all the antigen and antibody will precipitate. If there is an excess of antibody, the complexes formed with the antigen are insoluble. When there is an excess of antigen, the precipitate has a tendency to dissolve caused by the formation of soluble complexes.
Highlights:
- Gelling agent contains precipitin brighteners and diffusion enhancers that help visualize and speed the interaction process, respectively
- Good precipitin bands from all species (including rabbit)
- Gels can be washed, dried and stained for a permanent record
