Most progesterone enzyme immunoassays(EIA) are used liquid-phase double-antibody or single-antibody seperation. These methods consume considerable time and reagents because of the requirements for several washing and centrifugation steps involving the reactants. Because of these several problems, we were prompted to develop an effective enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) system that would be equal or superior to RIA for assay of progesterone. The results were obtained as follows. 1. Cross reaction of the progesterone antiserum with other steroids determined was shown with progesterone(100%), $11{\alpha}$-deoxycorti-costerone(2.271%), but the other steroids were shown below 0.9%. 2. Standard curve for progesterone ELISA was shown available difference according to progesterone concentration from 0 to 1,000pg/ml. 3. The lower limit of sensitivity was 0.2pg/well 4. Progesterone concentration was 1.6ng/ml for before parturition, and that was below 0.5ng/ml for after parturition. This development enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for progesterone can be detected pregnancy diagnosis in cattle, and also applicable 10 research on physiological function including such as reproductive disorders.

This experiment was carried out to determine the progesterone concentration of bovine plasma by liquid phase double antibody enzyme immunoassay. The optimum conditions of assay-system, enzyme conjugate and gelatin were invested. The sensitivity, recovery rate and reproducibility by this assay were also analyzed. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The suitable supplementation level of gelatin was 0.2%. As the gelatin level increased to 1%, coefficient variation of interassay was shown to be irregular. 2. The optimum dilution rate of enzyme conjugate was 30 times. Enzyme activity was greatly fluctuated depending on the minor condition of enzyme conjugate technique. Therefore, it was considered to be checked when determined. 3. The sensitivity of the assay was 12 pg/tube. 4. Recovery rate was decreased when the amount of sample was too little or too much, but the recovery rate was high as 97.8% when the amount of sample between 50 and $200{\mu}l$. 5. Mean intra-assay and inter-assay coefficient of variation was 4.5% and 5.9%, respectively. By using liquid phase double antibody enzyme immunoassay, progesterone in plasma can be detected, and also this assay system is applicable to study on physiological function of progesterone and to diagnosis of reproductive disorders.

Progesterone의 단크론성 항체를 생산, 이용하여 감도가 높으면서도 신속히 측정할 수 있는 ELISA 기법을 처음으로 개발코져 실시하였다. 단크론성 항체는 종래의 면역방법에 의해 획득한 항혈청에 비해 약 10배의 결합율을 보였고 titer 역시 높았다. Dot-blot 분석 결과 단크론성 항체는 IgM이었다. 경합반응은 2시간으로 충분하였고, progesterone 표준용액을 이용한 표준 곡선은 0~1000pg/well에서 거의 직선적이었다. Progesterone의 단크론성 항체를 이용한 ELISA는 임상적으로는 물론 연구용으로도 신속한 항체의 기능 측정에는 물론 각종 번식 관련의 지표로 충분히 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study was carried out the determine the progesterone concentration for serum by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) in bovine adult at estrous, pregnant, after patuation and male, female calves of 1 month old, respectively. The results obtained were summarized as follows ; 1. The assay has a sesitivity of $0.1ng/m{\ell}$. 2. Intra and inter-assay coefficient of variation were 4.5%, 6.1~9.4% when used for the determination of progesterone in samples of bovine serum. 3. The percentages of recovery for progesterone added were between 88.0 to 88.9%. 4. Progesterone concentration of adult bovine serum at estrus, pregnant and after 1 day of parturition were $0.37{\pm}0.16$, $7.1{\pm}1.0$, $0.13{\pm}0.02ng/m{\ell}$, respectively. 5. There was no differences in serum progesterone concentration of calves both male($0.16{\pm}0.03ng/m{\ell}$) and female($0.15{\pm}0.04ng/m{\ell}$) on 1 month old. From these results, progesterone determination by ELISA is very applicable to detect of early pregnancy diagnosis, factorial analysis of reproductive disorder, and also reproductive physiological functions such as veterinary therapeutic measures and monitoring of cyclicity.

Development of a solid-phase chemiluminescence immunoassay for the detection of progesterone in serum extract was described. The chemiluminescence immunoassay was establised utilizing anti-progesterone monoclonal antibody that coated on polystyrene tubes and progesterone-ABEI conjugate as tracer. The light yield generated from antibody bound conjugate was counted on clinilumat luminometer by oxidation with microperoxidase and peroxide. The chemiluminescence immunoassay was high specific and accurate and detects as little as 3.9ng/ml of progesterone. The intra-assay CV ranged from 6% to 11.5% and inter-assay CV ranged from 13.6% to 18.7%. This assay system was good correlated with conventional kit radioimmunoassay system (r=0.98).

A simple and sensitive microplate enzyme immunoassay(ELISA) was developed for progesterone, based on progesterone monoclonal antibody as anti-progesterone, horseradish peroxise(HRP) as enzyme-label and tetramethylbenzidine(TMB) as substrate. The assay has a sensitivity of 5pg-120pg/well and intra- and inter assay coefficients of variation for progesterone standard curve(0.1ng-3.2ng/ml) were ranged 4.4-10.6% and 5.-12.6%, respectively. They assay is performed in less than two hours and provide reliable values to differentiate among samples from day 0(A.I.), day 14 and day 19. The discriminatory levels for early pregnancy diagnosis are [>10ng(day 19) & decreasing rate <1.5 : pregnancy] and [ 7ng & decreasing rate 1.5 : non-pregnancy]. The accuracy of the pregnancy diagnosis for cows classified as positive(pregnancy) and negative(non-pregnancy) were 96% and 100%, respectively.

A simpled and sensitive microplate enzyme immunoassay(EIA) was developed for the determination of progesterone concentration in serum, based on progesterone monoclonal antibody as anti-progesterone, horseradish peroxidase(HRP) as enzyme-label and tetramethylbenzidine(TMB) as substrate. The assay has a sensitivity of 5 pg-120pg/well and intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation for progesterone standard curve (1.0ng~10.0ng/ml) were ranged 2.5~9.9% and 1.7.8.0%, respectively, determination coefficient of the regressio equation of our standard curve(R2=0.990$\pm$0.007) were high, and this is the same level as that of commercial kit(Hormonost Bio-Lab, Germany, R2=0.98~0.99). The progesterone concentration of serum determined by both kits (Work & Bio-Lab) were significantly correlated (r=0.95, P<0.01) although a little higher value were resulted in our kit than that of commercial kit. It generally is these results indicated that the microplate-EIA can be cused for the determination of progesterone in serum, as well as, for the determination of the early pregnancy diagnosis.

In an effort to confirm true oestrus and to detect early pregnancy in Zebu cows (Bos indicus), sequential blood and milk samples were collected at the day of imsemination (Day 0) and days 14, 20 and 24 after insemination. Progesterone was determined in skimmed milk and plasma by solid phase radioimmunoassay (RIA). Of the cows thought to be in oestrus plasma, (n = 46) and milk (n = 58) samples demonstrated low progesterone concentrations ($0.99{\pm}0.11$ and $2.02{\pm}0.14nmol/l$) in 42 (91%) and 52 (90%) cases respectively. Thirty two (76%) and 30 (71%) cows were thought to be pregnant by plasma progesterone RIA ($20.23{\pm}1.03$ and $20.48{\pm}1.01nmol/l$) at days 20 and 24 respectively. At the same period, 40 (77%) and 37 (71%) cows were thought to be pregnant by milk progesterone RIA ($27.82{\pm}1.28$and $28.02{\pm}1.27nmol/l$). Assuming 100% accuracy for rectal examination of pregnancy diagnosis between days 60-65 postservice, the RIA was found to be 84% and 90% accurate for plasma and 84% and 92% accurate for milk at day 20 and 24, respectively. All cows thought to be non pregnant by progesterone measurement were correctly diagnosed. Progesterone assay at 24 days after oestrus may therefore be accurate for early diagnosis of pregnancy in Zebu cows.

The purpose of this study was to establish optimal conditions for progesterone receptor assay using rat uterus, therby applying this system to understand action mechanism of progesterone in female reproductive organ and to evaluate physiological and pathological conditions in female reproduction. The results obtained were as follows 1. $^3H-R5020$ seemed to be more stable than 3H-progesterone as a ligand. 2. Optimal incubation time for ligand and receptor binding was 4-5 hrs at $4^{\circ}C$. 3. For the separation of bond and free ligand, optimal charcoal incubation time was 20 mins. 4. 2-3 mg cytosolic protein/ml was optimal for the binding of ligand. 5. Endogenous progesterone did not influence binding of ligand and receptor unless endogenous progesterone levels were extremely high as in case of pregnancy. 6. Dissociation rate for progesterone receptor was 1.22 nM. 7. $^3H-R5020$ did not bind to corticoid binding globulin (CBG), suggesting that addition of cortisol is saturate CBG was, not necessary as far as $^3H-R5020$ was used as a radioligand. It is, therefore, considered that this assay system established with these conditions might be used for the research as well as clinical routine purposes.

This study was carried out to determine the blood and milk progesterone by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and milk urea nitrogen (MUN) in cows. MUN and protein concentration were determined using automated infared procedures. The optimum conditions of ELISA system was investigated including the first and second antibody titres, bound percent, and enzyme conjugate and also the factors on MUN and protein concentration by sampling procedures and addition of preservatives. Progesterone antibodies did not react to pregnenlone, testosterone, estrone, estradiol-l7$\beta$, aldosterone, cortisol, corticosterone and 11$\alpha$-dehydroxycortisone (DOC), but reacted with only progesterone. The intra and inter-assay coefficient of variation 4.5%, 6.1~9.4% when used of bovine serum. The morning, MUN concentration (17.6$\pm$2.8 mg/100 ml) in the 13 herds was similar to that of evening MUN concentration of the lactating cows from the same herd. A significant relationship between morning and evening milk samples of upper parameters was found r=0.93. Difference in MUN concentration with sampling procedures and using of preservatives were investigated.
