When serum proteins are separated by electrophoresis and then antibodies specific for the serum proteins are placed in a parallel trough in order to form reaction arcs for each protein, the test is called
A)Ouchterlony double diffusion.
B)Western Blot.
C)immunelectrophoresis.
D)radioimmunoassay (RIA).
E)the Quellung test.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This describes the process of immunelectrophoresis, where serum proteins are first separated by electrophoresis and then reacted with specific antibodies to produce visible arcs indicating the presence of particular proteins. The other options either do not involve electrophoresis (such as the Quellung test and RIA) or use different techniques to detect proteins (such as the Western Blot).
