Semi-automatic solid-phase radioimmunoassay for carcinoembryonic antigen

A solid phase, double antibody radioimmunoassay has been semi-automated for the quantitation of carcinoembryonic antigens. Sepharose-bound rabbit anti-goat IgG immunoglobulin was used as the second antibody, reactions were carried out in 96-well microtiter plates, and samples processing (filtration and washing) was accomplished with the aid of a 24-sample harvester.
