Abstract:We tested the accuracy of radioimmunoassays for two hormones, progesterone and estradiol, in relation to the use of two different antisera in each assay and to the degree of purification from plasma before the assay was done. Each analyte was assayed either in a diethyl ether extract, in a zone eluted from a Sephadex LH-20 chromatographic column, or in fractions of a chromatographic zone (from Sephadex LH-20 or Celite) that passed a test of "radiochemical purity." Statistically indistinguishable results were o… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
