[Study of the radioimmunological and physicochemical properties of anti-aldosterone and anti-desoxycorticosterone antisera (author's transl)].

Study of the radioimmunological and physico-chemical properties of three anti-aldosterone antisera permitted practical conclusions to be drawn. By its high degree of specificity, anti-aldosterone-3-oxime-BSA is the most useful antiserum for the clinical assay of aldosterone. The principal advantage of this antiserum is that it allows both urinary and blood aldosterone radioimmunoassay without the necessity of including a chromatographic step. This work also includes the study of two anti-desoxy-cortico-sterone antisera.
