title: An application of the truncated Poisson distribution to immunogold assay.
abstract: An example of the use of the truncated Poisson distribution in an immunogold assay of dystrophin, a gene product of importance in the study of muscular dystrophies, is presented. The practical benefit of using minimum variance unbiased estimators of relevant functions of the parameter of the distribution is considered.
