[A shortened method for the assay with Centocor radioimmunoassay kit]

We have conducted a series of basic studies about Centocor's CA125 RIA Kit, especially for the conditions of the incubation. The standard curve and the outcome of recovery test gained through the standard method and the shortened method are quite decent. As for the incubation time, it took longer than 20 hours and 6-18 hours inthe standard method and shortened one respectively. As our conclusion, these results suggest that the shortened method can be adopted as a practical one as well as the standard method, provided that careful attention is paid to several peripheral conditions in the assay.
