title: Chemiluminescent labels for steroid immunoassays.
abstract: During the last few years non-isotopic techniques have been developed to measure steroid hormones. One of these methods is the luminescence immunoassay. Three classes of substances have been found to yield reasonable results, i.e. aminophthalhydrazides, aminonaphthohydrazides and acridiniumesters. Examples of application are shown.
