Summary Introduction
To review:
The zone of optimal proportions in a precipitation reaction.
Introduction:
The precipitation reaction is the formation of lattice-like structures by the binding of a soluble antigen with the antibody at an optimum pH and temperature. Zone of optimal proportions contains both the antigens and antibodies in equal amount with other optimum factors like temperature and pH
