DEF

Technique proche de [l'immunoélectrophorèse en fusée], où l'antisérum est distribué dans une ligne de trous parallèle à celle des trous contenant les antigènes. Un courant est appliqué perpendiculairement aux lignes des trous. La dilution maximale d'antigène (ou d'anticorps, selon que l'on fait varier les dilutions de l'antigène ou de l'anticorps) donnant un précipité permet d'évaluer, par référence à des témoins, la concentration d'antigène (ou d'anticorps).
