A specific enzymeimmunoassay for progesterone in human plasma. 1977

B G Joyce, and G F Read, and D R Fahmy

An enzymeimmunoassay for plasma progesterone was established using progesterone covalently linked to the enzyme, horseradish peroxidase, as the 'label'. Separation of free and bound steroid was effected by Sepharose-coupled antiprogesterone-11alpha-hemisuccinyl bovine serum albumin antiserum (Sepharose-antisera). The enzymeimmunoassay satisfied the normal criteria of specificity, precision and accuracy. Comparison of assay results obtained by radioimmunoassay (with and without thin-layer chromatography) and enzyme-immunoassay (with and without thin-layer chromatography) showed excellent agreement of results in all cases (r greater than 0.98). This enzymeimmunoassay is particularly applicable to the routine determination of plasma progesterone in the smaller clinical laboratory.

D011374 Progesterone The major progestational steroid that is secreted primarily by the CORPUS LUTEUM and the PLACENTA. Progesterone acts on the UTERUS, the MAMMARY GLANDS and the BRAIN. It is required in EMBRYO IMPLANTATION; PREGNANCY maintenance, and the development of mammary tissue for MILK production. Progesterone, converted from PREGNENOLONE, also serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of GONADAL STEROID HORMONES and adrenal CORTICOSTEROIDS.
