Abstract
The distribution of antigen and antibody in radial double diffusion systems was studied by means of materials labelled with 131I or 14C. These studies showed that, once a precipitate begins to form, the assumption that antigen and antibody obey the laws of free diffusion is invalid. They also showed that, in the systems used, no antigen and very little antibody diffused past the zone of visible precipitation.Keywords
