AB  - This is the first article in a new four-part CE series on radioimmunoassay. After reading and studying this paper, the reader should be able to: 1) describe the fundamental concepts of radioimmunoassay techniques; 2) discuss the various components in radioimmunoassay testing; and 3) understand the reaction principles. This article reviews the principles of radioimmunoassay (RIA) technique, describing both its conventional concepts and current state-of-the-art. The approach is to discuss the various components involved in RIA testing, and how they interact in the reaction (test) tube. Also included are various conditions that affect these reactions and how to deal with them in a normal working environment.
