A reaction between an antibody and soluble antigen- forming lattices is called a(n)
A) agglutination reaction.
B) immunofluorescence.
C) neutralization reaction.
D) precipitation reaction.
E) complement fixation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A precipitation reaction occurs between an antibody and soluble antigen, resulting in the formation of insoluble complexes that can be observed as visible precipitates. Agglutination reaction involves clumping of insoluble particles by cross-linking antibodies. Immunofluorescence involves labeling of antigens with fluorescent dyes or tagging antibodies with fluorescent molecules for detection, while neutralization reaction involves blocking the activity of toxins or viruses by binding to their surface molecules. Complement fixation involves the activation of complement cascade by immune complexes, resulting in the lysis of target cells or particles.
