[Basic principles of radioimmunoanalysis].

Abstract

The authors review the principal characteristics of radioimmunoassay (R.I.A.), in grounds of the so-called "saturation analysis" techniques, which are of increasing interest among the chemical laboratory procedures. They study each element of R.I.A. separatedly, and finally they make a brief display of the different applications of radioimmunoassay stressing its significance in the endocrinological field.
