The correct answer is option 4 - to detect antibodies and hormones present in the blood samples. Radioimmunoassay (RIA) is a laboratory technique that uses radioactive isotopes to measure the concentration of specific substances in the blood. It is commonly used to detect the presence of antibodies and hormones in the blood samples. RIA works by binding a specific antibody to the substance of interest, which is then measured using a radioactive tracer. The radioactive signal emitted is directly proportional to the concentration of the substance being measured. This technique is highly sensitive and can accurately detect very small amounts of substances in the blood. RIA is widely used in medical research and diagnostics to detect various diseases, monitor hormone levels, and assess the effectiveness of treatments.
