The Serological Properties of Simple Substances. I. Precipitation Reactions between Antibodies and Substances Containing Two or More Haptenic Groups
Abstract
The problem of obtaining from precipitation experiments evidence about the structure of antibodies and the nature of serological reactions is obviously greatly simplified by the replacement of protein antigens by simple substances of known structure. For this reason we began and are carrying on an extensive program of investigation of the reactions of simple substances with antisera. In this paper we report the quantitative study of the precipitin reaction for twenty simple substances containing two or more haptenic groups, and the results of tests of seven substances containing one group. It is found that the observations support the framework theory of serological precipitates.
