THE INFLUENCE OF THE MOLECULAR WEIGHT ANTIGEN ON THE PROPORTION OF ANTIBODY TO ANTIGEN IN PRECIPITATES
William C. Boyd 1 and
Sanford B. Hooker 1
1 From the Evans Memorial, Massachusetts Memorial Hospitals, Boston
The assumption that, at the equivalence point in specific precipitin reactions, the antigen molecule is completely covered with a single layer of antibody-globulin molecules has been shown to account fairly well for the antibody-antigen ratios of some representative native single proteins, and the pneumococcus S III hapten.
