Abstract excerpt
A steroid binding capacity assay and a radioimmunoassay were both used to measure corticosteroid binding globulin (CBG) in serum samples from 22 patients with sepsis. An approximately 50% discordancy between the two values in one patient suggested the presence of a CBG variant with reduced affini...
