      Recent developments in light scattering immunoassays, enzyme immunoassays, fluoroimmunoassays, and chemiluminescence immunoassays are discussed. Projections of the practical applications of the newer methods and the use of monoclonal antibodies in diagnostics are explored. New techniques with improved sensitivity and specificity herald even greater future growth in the field of immunology.
