INTRODUCTION
• Immunoelectrophoresis is the electrophoresis of a determined antigen mixture in an agarose gel that
allows the separation of different antigens along the gel slide, and then the lateral diffusion of an antibody in the gel

• Counter Current Immunoelectrophoresis is a modification of immunoelectrophoresis

PRINCIPLE
• The principle of counter current immunoelectrophoresis is based on the movement of antigen towards the
cathode and of the antibody towards the anode during the passage of electric current through agar. The meeting of the antigen and antibody is greatly accelerated
by this method and this made visible in 30 to 60 minutes.

• This has been applied to the detection of bacterial and fungal polysaccharide
antigens in cerebrospinal fluid.

MATERIALS
• Agarose, Prepare 10 ml of 1.0% Agarose (0.1 g/10 ml) in Assay Buffer by heating slowly till agarose dissolves completely.
• Antigen,• Test antiserum, • Positive antiserum,• Assay Buffer, • Electrophoresis apparatus, Glass slides.

PROCEDURE
1.Mark the end of a glass slide as +ve and -ve, so that when placed the glass slide in electrophoresis apparatus, the +ve mark faced towards anode and the negative mark faced towards cathode.

2. Place the glass plate or slide on a horizontal surface. Pipette and spread 5 ml of agarose onto the glass slide. Allow to solidify for 15 minutes. Takecare that the slide is not disturbed and allow the gel to solidify. 3. Cut wells of according to the template using gel puncher. The distance between the two wells should not be more than 0.5 cm. 4. Place the slide in the electrophoresis tank and fill the tank with electrophoresis buffer till the buffer just covers the gel surface. Do not add excess of buffer.

• 5. Add 10μl of antigen in each of the two wells towards cathode (Negative electrode) and 10μl of positive control antiserum and test antibody in wells towards anode (Positive electrode) as shown.
Cathode (-) Anode (+)

6. Connect the power cord to the electrophoretic power supply according to the convention: red : anode and black : cathode. 7. Apply 50 V and allow the electrophoresis to continue for about 60 minutes. 8. Observe for precipitin line between the
antigen and antibody wells.

INTERPRETATION
• a) Precipitin line indicates the presence of antibody for the antigen in the test sera.
• b) The absence of the precipitin line indicates the absence of any antibody for the antigen in the test sera.

RESULT
The presence of precipitin line between the antigen and antibody indicates its specificity while the absence of precipitin line indicates non-specificity.
