A solid-phase radioimmunoassay for the detection of anti-ribosome antibodies is described. Only small quantities of ribosomal particles are required, and low levels of antibody can be detected by very simple procedures. This assay has been used to detect antibodies which bind to intact ribosomes and

Abstract
A solid phase radioimmunoassay is described which employs ^125^IโproteinโA to detect the presence of antibodies against a panel of cellular and soluble central nervous system (CNS) specific antigens coated onto polyvinylchloride Microtiter plates. Serum antibodies from rabbits immunized against myelin, myelin basic protein (MBP), glial acidic fibrillary protein (GFAP), astroglioma cells, and cerebellar cells were easily detected, and high specificity for each antiserum and antigen was also demonstrable. The assay is applicable to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from patients with neurological diseases to detect antibodies against CNSโspecific antigens. The assay should be useful for examining cell lines derived from CNS tissue for the presence of brain proteins.
