precipitin test[prə′sip·ə·tən ‚test] (immunology) An immunologic test in which a specific reaction between antigen and antibody results in a visible precipitate. precipitin test
precipitin [pre-sip´ĭ-tin] an antibody to antigen that specifically aggregates the antigen in vivo or in vitro to give a visible precipitate.precipitin reaction a reaction involving the specific serologic precipitation of an antigen in solution with its specific antiserum in the presence of electrolytes. The reaction is used in the typing of pneumococcus strains, in testing whether blood is human or animal, and for diagnostic purposes.precipitin test any test in which the positive reaction consists of the formation and deposit of a precipitate in the fluid being tested.

See also: gel diffusion precipitin testsprecipitin testA test in which two dissolved substances in a solution join to form a visible solid. The results depend on the strength of the attraction between the Fab fragment on the antibody and the corresponding epitope on the antigen (affinity) and on the stability of the complex (antibody avidity). The test demonstrates how immune complexes form in the circulation and are deposited in blood vessel walls. See: precipitation testLegalSeeTestThesaurusSeeprecipitin |
