Two new, rapid and sensitive radioimmunoassays for human C-reactive protein (CRP) were established using antiserum coupled to magnetizable cellulose particles, which facilitate phase separation. A single antibody method, using solid phase anti-CRP, provides a sensitivity of 50 .mu.g/l with a 1-h incubation time and intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation of 10%. A double antibody method, using fluid phase rabbit anti-CRP serum and solid phase sheep anti-rabbit IgG serum, provides a sensitivity of 3 .mu.g/l with an overnight incubation and intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation of 10%. Among 468 sera from normal adult volunteer blood donors the median CRP concentration was 800 .mu.g/l, interquartile range 340-1700 .mu.g/l and range 70-29,000 .mu.g/l. Of samples, 90% contained less than 3 mg/l and 99% less than 10 mg/l. Low levels (14-650 .mu.g/l) of CRP were detected both in amniotic fluids and in CSF.
