Immunodiffusion reactions are diagnostic tests that use the diffusion of particles through a medium (such as agar) to measure:
Line 18: Line 8:  
*'''Radial immunodiffusion''': also known as the Mancini method. The medium is prepared with a suitable dilution of antiserum and the antigen sample placed on top and allowed to diffuse. As diffusion takes place,  large insoluble complexes form creating a ring of precipitation (precipitin). By comparing the area of the ring with a standard curve, the concentration of the antigen sample can be determined.

*'''Double immunodiffusion''': also known as the Ouchterlony method. Antigen and antibody preparations are placed on the medium and both allowed to diffuse radially from the wells towards each other. This establishes a concentration gradient, forming an area of equivalence and line of precipitin.
