17-Hydroxyprogesterone metabolism in the monkey fetal adrenal: C17-20lyase and 21-hydroxylase activities.

abstract：:A simplified, non-chromatographic method for aldosterone-gamma-lactone (2) radio-immunoassay is described, using a high titer aldosterone-gamma-lactone antibody. This method takes six working hours for completion; the blanks are below the sensitivity of the assay (0-10 pg), and the intra and interassay coefficient of ...
