Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The radial immunodiffusion test quantifies antigen by mixing into a gel and then allowing antigen to diffuse out from a well cut in the gel. The radial immunodiffusion test quantifies antigen by mixing antiserum into a gel and then allowing antigen to diffuse out from a well cut in the gel.
Detailed explanation-2: -Agar Gel Immunodiffusion The AGID is used to detect antibodies to viral antigen.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the basic immunodiffusion technique (aka the Ouchterlony method), a solution (usually serum) containing specific antibody is used to fill a well punched out of an agar gel. The well serves as an antibody depot from which the antibody slowly diffuses radially.
