Description

A rapid and quantitative determination of the sex inducer is established. The test is based on the principle of a radioimmunoassay (RIA) employing radioiodinated rabbit antibodies. The RIA detects 30 ng sex inducer/ml and is highly hormone specific. The authors observe that on introducing a radioactive label into the sex inducer, the latter, although not degraded by iodination, loses its immunological and biological activity almost entirely.
