    Abstract

    Mass action models have been used to model chemical reactions. We use the methods of stoichiometry to model the formation of nanoparticle clusterings where the bond between the nanoparticles is formed by antibody-antigen-antibody interaction. The growth of such configurations can be determined and the change of the mean nanoparticle size determined. This model can be used to determine the concentration of antigen in solution.
