✦ Synopsis
A systematic model, based on standard equilibrium expressions and probability theory, is presented to calculate average molecular weighls and gelation conditions fbr the immune system consisting ofa single type of antigens with three (or more) diferent epitopes and three (or more) types of bivalent antibodies. Molecular weights M,, M,, M,, and any other higher average molecular weights of formed branched antigen-antibody complexes in such an immune system are calculated directly without determining the whole distribution. The conditions for the formation ofgel complexes also can be determined by this model.
