Highly purified pituitary bovine prolactin (bPRL) has been used in a sensitive non-competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay of prolactin (PRL) concentrations in plasma. In this assay affinity purified polyclonal antibodies were immobilized to the solid phase in order to capture the antigen, and were also used biotinylated as the detector antibody. The method was found to be reproducible (3% variability between calibration curves) and has been optimized for measuring bPRL concentration in plasma samples, giving an intra-assay coefficient of variation of about 5% and an interassay coefficient of variation of about 9%. The sensitivity of the assay was found to be as low as 0.1 ng/ml of bPRL.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011388 Prolactin A lactogenic hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). It is a polypeptide of approximately 23 kD. Besides its major action on lactation, in some species prolactin exerts effects on reproduction, maternal behavior, fat metabolism, immunomodulation and osmoregulation. Prolactin receptors are present in the mammary gland, hypothalamus, liver, ovary, testis, and prostate.

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
