By 1960, Rosalyn Yalow and Solomon Benson had used radioimmunoassay to accurately measure the amount of insulin present in the blood.
Rosalyn Yalow, in a paper accepted for publication in March 1960, described a new accurate and elegant methodology "Immunoassay of endogenous plasma insulin in man".
