Abstract
The affinity constant (see Neri, Montigiani et al. 1996 for a simple introduction) is a useful parameter for the characterisation of antibody-antigen interactions. This constant can be seen as a “thermometre” which allows us to answer the following question: at certain conditions of concentration, to which extent does antibody A bind to its antigen B?
