Misinterpretation of an Agar-Gel Precipitation Pattern

Behavior of the Serum proteins in starch-agar-gel electrophoresis

Arbovirus identification by an agar-gel diffusion technique.

A double diffusion-in-agar test was used to investigate precipitation reactions of 75 arboviruses. Specific reactions were regularly observed with members of arbovirus groups B, California, Simbu, Turlock, Hart Park, vesicular stomatitis, and several other arboviruses as well as with a member of the Tacaribe group and a herpesvirus. The results demonstrated the feasibility of applying this tech...

Completely Adjustable Multipurpose Agar Gel Cutter.

Recent progress in the study of antigen-antibody reactions of biologicals in agar gel demands improvement of existing gel-cutting devices. For an ideal comparison of two or more antigenic preparations against an antiserum, it is necessary to obtain a critical distance between the ( antigen and antibody cups and to obtain a partial or complete identity of precipitinogen in adjacent cups. However...

Misinterpretation of Statistics – An Introduction

Some of the basic tenets of statistics are often misunderstood and in some cases, deliberately misused to lend weight to false assertions; the author seeks to rectify this with a review of some commonly used techniques and the misconceptions that are often applied to them. Examples include correlation versus causality; incidence with respect to prevalence; an interesting paradox surrounding the...
