EID & EIA - Concepts
•
EID = Electroimmunodiffusion
•
U
Countercurrent electrophoresis
•
\
similar to that of double immunodiffusion with
the addition of an electric current to aid in
seperation of proteins
•
EIA = Electroimmunoassay (Rocket electrophoresis)
•
\
depends on the creation of different charges of
antibody and antigen at selected pH
•
\
as antigen moves through gel several precipitin
bands appear forming
