title: Radioimmunoassay for pancreatic glucagon based on specific derivatisation of the hormone.
abstract: A specific glucagon antiserum was generated in rabbits using a derivatisation of the methionine residue in glucagon. A sensitive and specific assay for glucagon has been developed. Interference with the assay system by plasma factors was abolished by both extraction of plasma samples and the production of glucagon-free plasma for each individual.
