title: C-reactive protein levels in serum: a rapid enzyme immunoassay.
abstract: A simple and rapid competitive-inhibition enzyme linked immunoassay for serum C-reactive protein (C-RP) is described. The assay has a working range of 4.4-700 mg/l of C-RP, uses two serum dilutions and requires only 90 min to perform. Comparisons are presented between this assay and three commercially-available kits. The assay performs as well as the best of these kits but with added advantages of speed, ease of use and increased working range.
