COMPETITIVE PARTICLE IMMUNOASSAY METHODS UTILIZING FLUORESCENCE MICROSCOPY.

摘要

The present invention provides methods of measuring analytes in a sample by competitive imunoassay utilizing flurescence microscopy In particular embodiments, the invention provides a method of determining the gender of an avian embryo in ovo by determining the presence of an estrogenic steroid compound m a sample of embryonic fluid (e g , allantoic fluid or blood) from the avian egg (Fig 1).
