Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
149 words
The process of making an immunoradiometric quantitative assay of an unknown quantity of a known antigen of a first animal species comprising the steps of: a. preparing an antibody to the antigen of the first animal species in a second animal species, b. causing said antibody to be bound to a reaction site, c. reacting and binding said known antigen with said bound antibody, d. preparing an antibody to said known antigen in a third animal species and reacting and binding the same with the bound known antigen of paragraph c, e. preparing a purified, radioactive labeled antibody to the immunoglobulin of said third animal species in said second animal species and reacting and binding the same with the bound material of paragraph d, f. removing unreacted material from said reaction site, and g. measuring the radioactivity of the bound material to determine the quantity of the known antigen.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
149 words

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
