Evaluation of an immunoradiometric assay for the detection of an ovarian tumour marker, CA125, in serum

Ann Clin Biochem. 1986 May:23 ( Pt 3):292-6. doi: 10.1177/000456328602300308.

Abstract

An immunoradiometric assay, that uses a monoclonal antibody attached to a solid support and developed for the detection of the ovarian tumour antigen, CA125, in serum, has been evaluated. The method was simple to perform, with reagents having a shelf-life of approximately 4 weeks. The potentials and limitations of this test are discussed.
