Abstract
Abstract Immunochemical composites consisting of saturating amounts of radio-labelled triiodothyronine (T 3 ) or thyroxine (T 4 ) complexed respectively to anti-T 3 or anti-T 4 antisera covalently coupled to suspendable porous glass particles via an intermediate silane coupling agent. The composites are pre-loaded into individual tubes used in solid phase radioimmunoassay of T 3 or T 4 , requiring the addition of only test serum or standard, thereby minimizing chances of erroneous assay.
