title: Enzyme immunoassays for inhibins, activins and follistatins.
abstract: In this short review, the authors summarise the inhibin, activin and follistatin assays developed by the Oxford group and collaborators, and some of the main purposes for which they have been applied. Over 500 research publications have used these assays. We also discuss new assays recently developed at the request of our collaborators for particular applications, and comment on outstanding assay problems.
