title: Dilatometry, a neglected method in immunological studies.
abstract: Dilatometry has become a useful method for the study of proteins owing to its simplicity and accuracy. However, it has seldom been used in the study of immunoglobulins. Therefore possible applications of the method for that study are being discussed. A description is also given of the most common experimental set-up and procedure for dilatometric experiments. Finally, several papers describing the application of dilatometry to the study of immunoglobulins are reviewed.
