MEASUREMENT METHODS - ANNOTATIONS

The Clinical Measurement Ontology (CMO), Measurement Methods Ontology (MMO), and Experimental Condition Ontology (XCO) are currently being developed at the Rat Genome Database.

Definition:A technique used to determine the quantity of an antigen by measuring the diameters of circles of precipitin complexes surrounding samples of the antigen that mark the boundary between the antigen and an antibody suspended in a gel. Antigen diffuses into the gel matrix containing a specific antibody and a ring of precipitate is formed, the diameter of which is directly proportional to the concentration of the antigen. Precipitin is an antibody that has specifically aggregated a macromolecular antigen to give a visible precipitate.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: single radial immunodiffusion assay
