Radioimmunoassay for dieldrin and aldrin.
A radioimmunoassay for dieldrin and aldrin has been developed which can detect picomole levels of either compound. The specificity of the antibodies, determined with respect to several other organochlorine insecticides, indicates that most of the binding energy is directed to the polychlorinated bicyclic ring system. DDT, 2,4,5-T, dechachlorobiphenyl (a PCB standard), and several other insecticides which may be found in samples containing dieldrin and aldrin should not interfere with the radioimmunoassay.
