A review of radioimmunoassay for steroids.
This review, based on the current literature, considers the practical aspects of steroid radioimmunoassays. The problems associated with the raising of specific antisera and their characterization are discussed. Features of assay design, reliability criteria and practicability of radioimmunoassays for steroids are considered.
