Abstract |
A rapid, solid-phase microtitre plate enzyme immunoassay(EIA) to determine the concentration of progesterone and testosterone in dairy cow is described. Both steroid hormones were analysed employing antibodies against $11{alpha}$-hemisuccinate-progesterone bovine serum albumin and 4-androsten-$17{eta}$-ol-3-one-carboxymethyloxime bovine serum albumin, respectively. as primary antibodies and sheep Ig G as secondary antibody. The conjugated used as labels for progesterone and testosterone was progesterone-$11{alpha}$-hydroxy-hemisuccinate- horseradish peroxidase and 4 ${alpha}$-androsten-$17{eta}$-ol-3-hemisuccinate- horseradish peroxidase, respectively. Detection limit of microtitre plate EIA was 6.7 pg/well for progesteone and 1.0 pg/well for testosterone. |
