  2. Serology - in vitro demonstration of Ag/Ab reaction Ag/Ab reaction = reversible 1.Primary interactions 1) Electrostatic interactions 2) Hydrogen bond 3) Hydrophobic interactions 4) van de Waals force 2.Secondary interactions Precipitation Agglutination Complement activation reactions

  3. Association constant Ab + H AbH (binding of hapten) K = [AbH]/[Ab][H] (association constant between reactants) Affinity = binding of Ab with epitope characterized by association constant Avidity = binding energy between Ab & multivalent Ag IgM > IgG
