Abstract
Method of determining the concentration of thyroxine binding globulin (TBG) in a fluid sample. The method comprises the steps of adding to the sample an excess amount of thyroxine (T.sub.4) and then analyzing the sample for T.sub.4 via immunoassay technique in the presence and absence of a blocking agent to establish a binding differential. The differential is then correlated with a standard curve which relates known TBG concentrations to binding differentials obtained in a similar manner.
