Progress in the Use of the Precipitin Test in Entomological Studies

Abstract

The possible uses of the serological precipitin test for investigating certain entomological problems have been reported previously by West (6). It was suggested that the precipitin test offered a new tool which together with such tools as the electron microscope, paper chromatography and radioisotopes would contribute materially to future advancement in entomology. It is evident to everyone that progress in many branches of entomology is being made currently by the use of new and improved procedures.
