AGGLUTINATION BY PRECIPITIN [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1927 The fact is shown that collodion particles sensitized with various proteins adsorb sufficient protein to agglutinate in the presence of precipitin specific for the adsorbed protein. The amount of adsorption, judged by agglutination, is not dependent on the concentration of the sensitizing protein beyond a certain maximum.

ON THE SPECIFICITY OF AGGLUTININS AND PRECIPITINS [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1924 The results of the partial saturation of precipitins with antigens related in derivation to the homologous one give no conclusive evidence of the regular existence in a single immune serum of multiple antibodies which act specifically on various chemical groups of the antigenic proteins.

Role of Aspergillus Specific IgG Titres as a Therapeutic Target for Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis: A Longitudinal Study [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2023 Introduction: Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis (CPA) continues to be an enigma to clinicians in regions with a high prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis and is often misdiagnosed as the latter, attributable to the significant overlap in symptoms and ...

Precipitin Antisera and their Standardisation [PDF]
Journal of Hygiene, 1906 It is usually accepted that in precipitin reactions a definite quantity of precipitin interacts with a definite quantity of homologous proteid, and further that in ordinary circumstances the interacting quantities combine to give rise to a precipitate, the precipitum.
