Radioimmunoassay of Paramoecium surface antigens

I Finger, G P Fishbein, T Spray, R White, Linda Dilworth
PMCID: PMC1407882  PMID: 4624343

Abstract

A radioimmunoassay for the quantitative determination of the immobilization antigens of Paramoecium is described. The use of this technique in the identification of closely related antigens is discussed in terms of antigen `profiles', derived from precipitin tests with several antisera.
