SummaryThe solid-phase radioimmunoassay method has been applied to the measurement of fibrinogen. The method is extremely sensitive, being able to detect fibrinogen concentrations as low as 10 ng/ml. The immunoreactivity of fibrinogen proteolysis products differs from that of native fibrinogen, early proteolysis products showing enhanced immunoreactivity which decreases progressively with further digestion.

A solid-phase radioimmunoassay method has been developed for the detection of rubella virus-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM antibodies in human serum specimens. Purified rubella virus was adsorbed onto polystyrene balls, and antibodies that attached to the virus-treated balls were detected by subsequent binding of 125I-labeled anti-human gamma or anti-human mu immunoglobulins. A total of 77 serum specimens were tested. Binding ratios between positive and negative sera were as high as 22 in the IgG assay but rarely exceeded 3 in the IgM assay. The sensitivity of the IgG assay was found to be 16 to 256 times higher than that of the rubella virus hemagglutination inhibition test. The IgG radioimmunoassay can be readily adopted for routine diagnostic use. The IgM radioimmunoassay, however, due to its lower sensitivity, must be modified before being routinely applied.
