General description

Progesterone or P4 (pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione) is a female steroid hormone that belongs to the hormones class, progestogens. It is produced by majorly by ovaries, adrenal glands and placenta of humans and other species. Progesterone derived from placenta and corpus luteum is required for the maintenance of pregnancy. Progesterone inhibits the T cell mediated immune response involved in tissue rejection. The progesterone levels in females are low before ovulation and are elevated during the luteal phase. Monoclonal Anti-Progesterone antibody is IgG1 isotype purified from rat cell culture supernatant.

Immunogen

progesterone-7-BSA.

Application

The antibody may be used in various immunochemical techniques including ELISA, radioimmunoassay AND RIA to measure progesterone levels in milk.

Analysis Note

dextran coated charcoal 3H RIA.

Progesterone and oestrogen are the main gonadal steroid hormones that regulate the ovarian activity and induce the fertile oestrus period in females. The monitoring of this receptive phase is particularly decisive for captive breeding and is commonly based on the

Knowledge on species' reproductive biology is a fundamental pre-requisite of every conservation effort, but is often lacking. Sex steroids can provide valuable information for the assessment of reproductive success, whereas glucocorticoids are used to assess adrenocortical activity and stress-related bodily

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are known to play an indispensable role in preventing the precocious luteinization of granulosa cells within growing ovarian follicles. In this study, we found that the transcripts of BMP8 genes are enriched in the ovaries of

Lynx presents a unique sexual cycle with persistent corpora lutea (CLs) and elevated serum progesterone (P₄) throughout parturition and lactation. In other mammals, CLs normally disintegrate after parturition, therefore the aim of our study was to characterise the annual life
