Marrak introduced the lattice hypothesis to elucidate the mechanism of precipitation. The quantity of precipitate formed is highly influenced by associative proportions of antibodies and antigens.

The valency of antigens is multivalent. Whenever antigen-antibody is in optimal concentration, the precipitation is full. And hence, large lattice is made.
