A new method for the radioimmunoassay of hPL based on the coated-tube technique has been compared with a radioimmunoassay of common use and with radial immunodiffusion (RLD). Our results show that reproducibility, linearity and recovery of the new method are satisfactory; it has not been found any matrix effect. On the other hand the new method reveals a proportional overestimate in comparison with the other two methods examined. This overestimate is reflected by the reference values given by the manufacturers.
