title: Solid-phase radioimmunoassay for the detection of antibodies to collagen.
abstract: A solid-phase radioimmunoassay has been developed using polystyrene tubes for the detection of class-specific antibodies to collagen. The optimal conditions for the adsorption of collagen onto the tubes, followed by incubation with the antisera and finally the radiolabelled antibody to the class-specific antibody are described. Studies carried out on antisera raised in rats and rabbits using this assay confirm its sensitivity and applicability.
