Radioimmunoassay of rheumatoid factor [PDF]

open access: yesArthritis & Rheumatism, 1969
AbstractA radioimmunological method for assaying rheumatoid factor is proposed and analyzed. The method is based on the reaction between rheumatoid factor, either purified or present in serum, and purified labeled yg globulin. This assay permits a quantitative estimation of rheumatoid factor levels in rheumatoid‐positive serum and provides evidence ...
