title: Estimation of the equilibrium constant for an antibody using data derived from an antiserum dilution curve.
abstract: An equation is derived from the Law of Mass Action which enables the equilibrium constant of an antibody to be calculated directly from data obtained from an antiserum dilution curve. A graphical solution is obtained and examples using theoretically derived and experimental data are given.
