Abstract
An attempt to develop a radioimmunoassay method for analysis of ethylcarbamate failed because the presence of ethylcarbamate antibodies in supposedly normal goat serum caused the second antibody precipitation reaction to become nonspecific. This suggested possible contamination of the sera samples. To check this further tests were made with goat anti-DNA, goat anti-myosin, three other goat sera, and three fresh human sera. All sera tested reacted positively with ethylcarbamate. These findings point to the possible widespread occurrence of anti-ethylcarbamate sera.
