Description
RIP: Radioimmunoprecipitation

Outline
An antigen is radiolabeled, and then used to detect the presence of an antibody.

(In other words, the bound form of antigen/antibody is then detected by ... what?)

MeSH: "Radioimmunoprecipitation assay"

 * http://bioportal.bioontology.org/visualize/40401/D015531
 * "Sensitive assay using radiolabeled ANTIGENS to detect specific ANTIBODIES in SERUM. The antigens are allowed to react with the serum and then precipitated using a special reagent such as PROTEIN A sepharose beads. The bound radiolabeled immunoprecipitate is then commonly analyzed by gel electrophoresis. Radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) is often used as a confirmatory test for diagnosing the presence of HIV ANTIBODIES."
