 * "A technique that combines protein electrophoresis and double immunodiffusion. In this procedure proteins are first separated by gel electrophoresis (usually agarose), then made visible by immunodiffusion of specific antibodies. A distinct elliptical precipitin arc results for each protein detectable by the antisera."

Definition
Adapting the MESH Definition: An electrophoretic process which separates proteins by gel electrophoresis, and then detects those proteins by binding to an antibody either by diffusion or through a blot.

(Are Western blots a type of immunoelectrophoresis?)
