A solid phase non-competitive immunoradiometric assay (IRMA) has been developed which allows measurement of factor VIII related antigen (VIIIR:AG) levels in normal plasma as low as 2.5 x 10(-4) U/ml. The assay is based on the extraction of VIIIR:AG from test plasma by means of polystrene tubes coated with a specific unlabelled anti-VIIIR:AG rabbit antiserum and subsequent labelling of the extracted antigen with 125I-labelled anti-VIIIR:AG rabbit IgG.
