An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for progesterone measurement in serum or plasma samples using penicillinase as label enzyme is reported. A C3 and C11 derivatives of progesterone were prepared and conjugated to bovin serum albumin (BSA). Polyclonal antibody against these two immunogens were prepared in New Zealand white rabbits. Purified Ig fractions of antibodies were immobilized o...

The double-sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay has been compared with the indirect fluorescence assay for the detection of immunoglobulin M antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii in humans. Incubation times have been shortened, permitting the test to be completed within 2 h. The double-sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is confirmed to be more sensitive and more specific than the i...
