Abstract
An immunoradiometric assay in which an antigen is reacted to its specific antibody, which complex is then separated and further reacted with a second, universal antibody. This second, universal antibody contains a chelating moiety, such as transferrin, capable of binding specifically and strongly short-lived radionuclides. The second complex, once formed is reacted with a radionuclide and the radio-activity is measured, determining thereby the quantity of the unknown antigen originally present.
