Abstract

A method for determining thyroxine uptake of a sample serum comprising: (a) incubating the sample serum with solid phase thyroxine and labeled anti-TBG antibody; (b) separating the solid phase from the unbound labeled antibody; (c) measuring the amount of label associated with the solid phase; and (d) calculating the thyroxide uptake ratio of the sample serum by relating the measurement of step (c) to a measurement of a reference serum.
