Radioimmunoassays and ELISAs: Peptides

  • Chapter
Immunological Techniques in Insect Biology

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Experimental Entomology ((SSEXP))

Abstract

It is hardly an exaggeration to state that the introduction of the radioimmunoassay (RIA) more than 25 years ago has been the single most important methodological advance in endocrinology in the past 50 years. The ability to measure notoriously small amounts of hormone in blood samples has decisively shaped our current concepts regarding endocrine mechanisms, especially in vertebrates. The impact of this technique on invertebrate endocrinology is of a more recent date. The introduction of the ecdysone RIA 16 years ago (Borst and O’Connor, 1972; see Chapter 6) has had enormous consequences for the development of arthropod endocrinology.
