ELISA KIT FOR PROGESTERONE
|
Clinically progesterone measurement
is of use in confirming occurrence of ovulation, in assessment of luteal
function and to check the effectiveness of procedures for induction of
ovulation. In the female, following the mid-cycle surge of LH, corpus luteum
development begins, with an increase in the circulating levels of
progesterone thus confirming ovulation followed by normal development and
function of the corpus luteum. Maximum levels reached by 5 to 8 days after
ovulation and decreased to follicular phase levels approximately 4 days
before menstruation. If pregnancy takes place, progesterone levels remain
elevated and increases progressively throughout pregnancy. Serum progesterone
levels are also useful to evaluate patients at risk from spontaneous
abortions in early pregnancy and for monitoring replacement therapy. The enzyme-linked
immunosorbant assay (ELISA) developed is a quantitative in-vitro diagnostic
method for measuring Progesterone in serum. It is a simple two-hour ELISA
method for direct measurement of progesterone in serum. ELISA kit based on
our technology is quick, specific and sensitive. The major components of this
test have been found stable at specific temperature for certain period. This is a 2.5-hour assay
requiring 50 m l serum. The kit is under evaluation for stability and
performance and will be ready with in few months. The cost of the kit will
be around Rs. 1,500/- per 100-tube kit. Marketing costs will be extra. |
