Plasma-corticosterone radioimmunoassay and levels in the neonate chick
The objective was to develop and validate a rapid, precise plasma corticosterone radioimmunoassay using a commercially available antiserum, for use in Gallus domesticus. Sample preparation consisted of sequential 2,2,4-trimethylpentane and dichloromethane extraction to partition progestins and gluco...
