[Histonet] Re: ASR antibodies verses IVD antibodies

[Bob Richmond]

Jim Vickroy in US area code 217 asks for "ASR antibodies verses IVD
antibodies" so here are some verses for the occasion. (Happy Friday Eve!)

What's an ASR?
What's an IVD?
(I do know FDA
and sometimes CAP.)
Endless abbreviations
leave me with frustrations.
Please, spell it out,
for this aging lout!

("In older CAP regulations ASR's had to be handled separately than IVD
antibodies including a disclaimer acquired from the FDA. I don't find that
in the current CAP checklist.")
