     This data frame contains the following columns:

     _L_o_t an ordered factor giving the radioactive tracer lot.

     _a_g_e a numeric vector giving the age (in days) of the radioactive
          tracer.

          protein (ng/ml)


_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Davidian and Giltinan (1995) describe data obtained during quality
     control radioimmunoassays for ten different lots of radioactive
     tracer used to calibrate the Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF-I)
     protein concentration measurements.
