| Abstract | We developed a direct competitive-type immunoassay for progesterone in serum that combines the advantages of the biotin-streptavidin system with the antibody-immunobilization approach. We synthesized biotinylated progesterone derivatives of five different proteins and, after initial evaluation of the conjugates, selected biotinylated bovine IgG-progesterone as the most suitable tracer. Progesterone released from binding proteins with danazol competes with the biotinylated tracer conjugate for binding to a limited amount of a mouse anti-progesterone monoclonal antibody in microtitration wells coated with a goat anti-mouse IgG antibody. The binding of the biotinylated tracer is then monitored by reaction with a streptavidin-based universal detection reagent developed for time-resolved fluorometry. The assay demonstrated typical performance characteristics with respect to the dynamic range, detection limit, and precision. Recovery averaged 99.3% (SD 8.3%) and dilution experiments showed good linearity. Measurements correlated well with those from three commercially available direct immunoassays for progesterone. |
