Explanation

Radioimmunoassay (RIA) is a highly sensitive laboratory technique used to measure and detect minute quantities of antigens, antibodies, and hormones in blood samples. It was developed by Rosalyn Yalow and Solomon Berson, who won the Nobel Prize for this work. RIA is a diagnostic tool, not a therapeutic treatment for cancer, AIDS, or fractures.
