Question

Explain how qualitative observations can be performed on the antigen-antibody system. 1. 2. What is the equivalence zone or equivalence point? An antigen will react with its specific antibody to form an Ag-Ab comple: antigens are added, the amount of protein precipitated increases until th antigen/antibody molecules are at an optimal ratio. 3. When would you observe the antigen-excess zone? What effect does this have on the amount of precipitation? When the amount of antigen in solution exceeds the amount of antibody, the am precipitation will decrease. 4. What would cause two or more precipitin bands to form in an antigen- English (United States)

Explanation / Answer

Explain how qualitative observation can be performed on the antigen-antibody system.

Ans.Antibody and antigen:-antibody also called immunoglbulins are proteins manufactured by the body that help fight against foreign substance called antigen.

When an antigen enters the body it stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies .(The immune system is the body's natural defense system.)
