A Radioimmunoassay for Isoniazid
Abstract A sensitive radioimmunoassay is described, for measuring isoniazid in therapeutic and subtherapeutic concentrations. This radioimmunoassay was used in an exploratory clinical study to measure, as a function of time, the concentration of this drug in plasma of patients receiving isoniazid therapy.
