A sequence of three programs is described for efficient design and analysis of radioimmunoassays. The first program designs the assay; the second program analyzes all available data according to the organizational base provided by the first program: and the third program summarizes the results of se

โฆ Synopsis
A mathematical analysis of counting data obtained in hormone plasmatic radioimmunoassay is presented. A log-normal Galton distribution of the dose-effect type is assumed for the fitting of the experimental data. The special adopted procedure makes it possible to reproduce the total range of the sigmoid curve and not only the rectilinear part of it. Experimental data with iterations and the proper weights of the iterated counting rates are automatically taken into account and the statistical errors of the standard curve and of the sample's dose evaluated from it are given by the code. A large number of analyses have been performed in order to test the affidability of the method and to explain the validity of the chemical-physical parameters of the calculated distribution. Some selected results are presented and a full description of the mathematical formalism is given.

We propose a method allowing the automatic exploitation of radioimmunoassay results. The standard curve is calculated according to two models; a linear model by Logit-Log transformation of data and another one using Fisher's orthogonal polynomials. The computer programs are written in FORTRAN IV.

The basic algorithm involves computation of the difference between the power spectrum of the sweep sum and the sum of power spectra of individual sweeps.
