title: Detection of Candida precipitins. a comparison of double diffusion and counter immunoelectrophoresis.
abstract: The optimum conditions for detection of Candida precipitins by double diffusion and counter immunoelectrophoresis have been established. Counter immunoelectrophoresis was shown to be more sensitive than double diffusion, and its application to routine tests for Candida precipitins to cytoplasmic antigen is recommended.
