title: [Prospects for the use of in vitro radioimmunological technics in pediatrics].
abstract: The Author first of all outlines the advantages which in vitro radioimmunological techniques offer at the pediatric age level and particularly for newborn babies, in relation to the minimal amount of blood necessary for this type of examination and the fact that exposure of babies to ionizing radiation is avoided. He subsequently reports on what can already be achieved using these methods in the field of functional diagnostics at the pediatric age level, especially in the field of endocrinology. Then he indicates the areas which appear to be most promising for exploration, among them the use of in vitro radioimmunological techniques on the blood of the umbilical cord, on the amniotic fluid, and lastly in monitoring the plasmatic kinetics of drugs especially at the pediatric age level.
