Evaluation of a new chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay, the PATHFAST assay system
(PATHFAST), for measurement of circulating progesterone in mares was performed. Five mares
at the mid-luteal stage were administrated a single i.m. injection of prostaglandin F2α
analog (PGF2α; cloprostenol 250 μg/ml), and then blood samples were collected from the
jugular vein at 0, 15, 30 and 45 min, at one-hour intervals until 24 and at 48 hr via a
catheter in the jugular vein. To monitor the physiological changes in circulating
progesterone in mares after induced luteolysis, concentrations of progesterone in whole
blood and serum samples were measured by PATHFAST. In addition, concentrations of
progesterone in serum samples measured by PATHFAST were compared with those measured by
radioimmunoassay (RIA) and enzyme immunoassay (EIA). Using PATHFAST, the serum
concentrations of progesterone in mares correlated highly with those of whole blood
samples (r=0.9672, n=88). The serum concentrations of progesterone as measured by PATHFAST
correlated well with RIA (r=0.9654, n=88) and EIA (r=0.9323, n=112). An abrupt decline in
circulating progesterone in whole blood samples was observed within 2 hr (50%), followed
by a gradual decline until 48 hr later. The results for progesterone in whole blood
samples correlated highly with those in serum samples, and the declining pattern
paralleled that of the serum samples. These results demonstrated that PATHFAST is useful
in the equine clinic as an accurate diagnostic tool for rapid assay of progesterone within
26 min, using unextracted whole blood. 相似文献

Inhalt Durch zwei Versuche sollte geklärt werden, wie gut die Übereinstimmung bei der Milchprogesteronbestimmung mit den Meβverfahren RIA-Milchfettextraktion und EIA-Direkttest ist und welche Reproduzierbarkeiten beim EIA zu erreichen sind. Beim Vergleich der Oeiden Bestimmungsverfahren—die Proben wurden unabhängig voneinander in zwei getrennten Labors analysiert—ergab sich eine Korrelation von r = 0.86 (P < 0.01). Der Qualitätstest ergab für Proben mit sehr niedrigen Progesterongehalten Variationskoeffizieriten von intra-assay 27% und inter-assay 53%. Bei mittleren Hormonkonzentrationen betrugen die entsprechenden. Werte 10% und 19% und bei hohen Werten 10% und 14%. Die ermittelten Ergebnisse stellen die Eignung des enzymimmunologischen Dirckttests für die Progesteronbestimmung in der Milch zum Zwecke der routinemäβigen Fruclitbarkeitsüberwachung unter Beweis. Contents: Determination of progesterone in cow's milk; comparison of the RIA performed on fat extract with the EIA performed on unextracted milk and assessment of the reliability of the EIA Two experiments were conducted to assess whether an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) is suitable to measure the concentration of progesterone in cow's milk. In trial 1 progesterone was determined in whole milk with the EIA and in the fat extract of the same samples with a radioimmunoassay (RIA). Agreement of the two assays was very good; the correlation coefficient was r = 0.86 (P < 0.01). In trial 2 the repeatability of the milk progesterone determination with the EIA was assessed. Milk samples from five cows each at three levels of milk progesterone (low, medium, high) were used. Each sample was determined five times in duplicate on each of five successive days. The mean intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation at the low, medium and high progesterone Ievels were 27% and 53%, 10% and 19%, 10% and 14%, respectively. In conclusion the enzyme immunoassay is suitable to monitor ovarian function in dairy cows by way of milk progesterone determination. 相似文献

Nubian does (n = 12) were bred by artificial insemination after induction of estrus with medroxyprogesterone acetate impregnated vaginal sponges and pregnant mare serum gonadotrophin injections during the anestrous season. Pregnancy status was predicted from serum samples collected 21 days following the last breeding and analyzed using 1) a commercial bovine milk progesterone enzyme immunoassay test (EIA), and 2) a radioimmunoassay progesterone (RIA) test. Both tests detected nonpregnancy (EIA 100%, RIA 80%) more accurately than pregnancy (EIA 66%, RIA 75%). Commercial bovine progesterone EIA kits have potential as rapid, inexpensive screening tests for nonpregnant does bred out of season. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to compare 2 enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) with a radioimmunoassay (RIA) as to sensitivity and accuracy in the measurement of the progesterone (P4) concentration in bovine plasma, skim milk, and whole milk. The 72 samples from 24 lactating dairy cows expected to have either a high P4 concentration (cows in diestrus or pregnant) or a low P4 concentration (cows in estrus or anestrus) were analyzed by RIA, solid-phase EIA (SPEIA), which included a solvent extraction step, or direct EIA (DEIA) without solvent extraction. The overall mean concentrations of P4 did not differ (P < 0.4) among the assays. However, for the cows that were in diestrus or pregnant, the mean P4 concentrations (and standard error) were higher (P < 0.03), regardless of sample type, with RIA than with SPEIA, at 7.3 (0.7) and 6.1 (0.6) ng/mL, respectively. When only the high-P4 samples analyzed by RIA were compared, the mean P4 concentration was higher (P < 0.001) in whole milk than in skim milk, at 9.8 (1.0) and 4.1 (0.7) ng/mL, respectively. Although the mean P4 concentrations in the low-P4 samples did not differ (P < 0.80) among assays, the proportions of cows with a P4 concentration > or = 1 ng/mL were 3%, 14%, and 44% for RIA, SPEIA, and DEIA, respectively (P < 0.01; DEIA > SPEIA > RIA). 相似文献

Early pregnancy diagnosis in bovines is one of the important aspects in efficient dairy farm management. In order to develop a competitive enzyme immunoassay (EIA) employing low cost reagents, anti‐progesterone antiserum and progesterone‐penicillinase enzyme conjugate were prepared. Using this anti‐serum and conjugate along with pencillinV–starch–iodine substrate system, the competitive EIA was standardized. In the experiment, danazol, a weak androgen used to extract the progesterone bound to proteins in milk, was included after standardizing the optimum concentration. Incubation period and temperature and pH of the reaction mixture were also optimized. The developed test was validated with milk samples obtained from dairy farm and individual animal owners. Confirmation of the pregnancy was made by per rectum examination of the genital tract around 60 days post‐insemination. The user friendly test procedure showed sensitivity and specificity of 83.3% and 87.5%, respectively as compared with residual binding method which was earlier developed in the laboratory with sensitivity and specificity of 100% and 87.5% respectively. 相似文献

Early pregnancy diagnosis in dairy goats and cows was studied using enzyme immunoassays (EIA) to measure progesterone concentrations in whole milk samples collected approximately 3 weeks after mating. Two qualitative on-farm assay kits and 2 quantitative assay kits, all designed for use in the dairy cow, were tested for their accuracy with goats milk samples. Accuracy of diagnosis of goat pregnancy ranged from 83 to 88%, and of non-pregnancy from 80 to 100%. Pregnancy diagnosis with samples of cows milk using 2 quantitative kits gave accuracies of 66 to 68% for pregnancy, and 90 to 91% for non-pregnancy. Possible causes of error in the early diagnosis of pregnancy with milk samples are discussed. 相似文献

The accuracy of rectal palpation and of a rapid milk progesterone enzymeimmunoassay (EIA) for determining the presence of a functional corpus luteum (CL) in subestrous dairy cows was investigated, using the results of a radioimmunoassay (RIA) for progesterone in skimmed milk as the “gold standard”. The ovaries and uterus of each of 359 subestrous cows from 32 dairy herds were palpated per rectum, the presence or absence of a functional CL was predicted, and a milk sample was collected for analysis by both the rapid EIA and the RIA.
The nine clinicians participating in the study had a combined sensitivity of 82.6% and specificity of 52.6%, compared to the EIA which had a sensitivity of 90.3% and a specificity of 84.2% for predicting the presence of functional luteal tissue.
It was concluded that the technique of rectal palpation was inaccurate at assessing the functional (progesterone-secreting) status of ovarian structures. In addition, a qualitative EIA was as sensitive and more specific than rectal palpation in predicting the presence of a functional CL in the subestrous cow.

Pregnancy‐associated glycoproteins (PAG) constitute a large family of glycoproteins found in the outer placental epithelial cell layer of the placenta in Eutherian species. In ruminants, they are noted to be structurally closely related among the different species. This study was designed to determine PAG concentrations in maternal and fetal plasma, allantoic and amniotic fluids in buffalo species. Antisera (AS) generated in rabbits against distinct PAG molecules were used in three radioimmunoassay (RIA)‐PAG systems: RIA‐1 (antiserum raised against bovine PAG67kDa; AS#497), RIA‐2 (antiserum raised against caprine PAG55 + 62 kDa; AS#706) or RIA‐3 (antiserum raised against buffalo PAG; AS#859). Samples were collected at a slaughterhouse (n = 67). PAG concentrations determined by RIA‐2 gave significantly higher results in both allantoic and amniotic fluids (12.7 ± 2.1 ng/mL and 24.0 ± 7.3 ng/mL, respectively). Regarding maternal and fetal plasma, PAG concentrations obtained by RIA‐2 (21.8 ± 2.4 ng/mL and 20.2 ± 2.5 ng/mL, respectively) and RIA‐3 (25.0 ± 2.2 ng/mL and 21.9 ± 3.2 ng/mL, respectively) were higher than those obtained by RIA‐1 (15.5 ± 1.4 ng/mL and 16.1 ± 1.8 ng/mL, respectively). The correlation among the three systems was very high. The study clearly reveals the ability of different PAG‐RIA systems to measure PAG concentration in swamp buffalo samples. 相似文献

A sandwich enzyme immunoassay for bovine interferon-γ and its use for the detection of tuberculosis in cattle 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
An in vitro cellular assay for bovine tuberculosis has recently been developed. This assay detects gamma-interferon released in response to specific antigen in a whole blood culture system. The bio-assay previously described for the detection of bovine gamma-interferon (IFN-gamma) has now been replaced with a sandwich enzyme immunoassay (EIA) which utilises two monoclonal antibodies to bovine IFN-gamma. The EIA detects less than 25pg/ml of recombinant bovine IFN-gamma and is specific for biologically active bovine IFN-gamma; and does not detect bovine alpha or beta interferon. IFN-gamma from sheep, goat and buffalo, but not from pig, deer or man, are also recognised by the EIA. The bovine IFN-gamma EIA when used in conjunction with the whole blood culture system has resulted in a simple, rapid and sensitive in vitro assay for specific cell mediated immune responsiveness to M. bovis infection in cattle. 相似文献

Direct enzyme immunoassay of progesterone in bovine plasma 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The present study was undertaken to develop a novel, practical and simple procedure for enzyme immunoassay (EIA) of plasma progesterone in cows. Diluted plasma was heated for 70°C for 30 min and applied directly to wells of a microtitre plate without extraction. Then plasma was incubated with antiprogesterone antibody and horseradish peroxidase‐labeled progesterone. The sensitivity of the assay was estimated as 4.4 pg/mL (0.11 pg/well). The intra‐assay and interassay coefficients of variation were 5.7–19.1% and 6.6–19.3%, respectively. When 0.3, 1 and 3 ng of progesterone were added to plasma, the recovery rates ranged between 79.9 and 108.4%. Only 4 h were needed to complete an assay to measure progesterone concentration. To apply the present direct EIA, progesterone concentration in plasma was assayed in crossbred cows used for the embryo transfer program. During insertion of controlled‐internal drug release (CIDR), progesterone concentrations were kept at a high level, although the removal of CIDR with treatment of dinoprost trometamine reduced progesterone concentration drastically. These results suggest that the present direct EIA is a practical and suitable method for measuring the plasma concentration of progesterone. 相似文献

A highly sensitive enzyme immunoassay (EIA) that used the second antibody coating technique and the cortisol-horseradish peroxidase conjugate as a label for determination of free and total cortisol in blood plasma of dairy animals (cows, buffaloes, and goats) was developed. For biological validation of the EIA, blood samples were collected from the animals at 48 and 24 h before and 0, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, and 132 h after dexamethasone administration. The EIA was performed directly with 20 μL of fresh plasma (for free cortisol) and also with 20 μL of heat-treated plasma (for total cortisol) after 1:5 dilutions with PBS. Cortisol standards ranging from 0.39 to 200 pg/well/20 μL were used, and the sensitivity of the EIA procedure was found to be 0.39 pg/well/20 μL, which corresponded to 0.02 ng/mL. In comparison with RIA the EIA was at least 4 times more sensitive and required 5 times less cortisol antiserum. In female cattle, buffaloes, and goats, the total, free, and bound plasma cortisol before dexamethasone administration was significantly (P < 0.05) higher than the total, free, and bound cortisol after dexamethasone administration. It can be concluded from these studies that the direct, sensitive EIA validated for estimating the free and total cortisol concentrations was sufficiently reliable and quick for studying the dynamics of cortisol distribution in blood plasma of dairy animals. 相似文献

Enzyme Immunoassays for the Determination of Ovine LH and FSH 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The development of competitive enzyme immunoassays for ovine plasma LH (oLH) and FSH (oFSH) is described. Standards and plasma samples were preincubated with diluted antiserum to oLH or oFSH and the reacted solution (100 μl per well) was transferred to plates previously coated with oLH or oFSH, respectively. The second antibody used was anti‐rabbit IgG horseradish peroxidase. The measuring range was 0.39–50 ng/ml for each hormone and the 50% relative binding sensitivity was 9 ng/ml for oLH. The respective value for oFSH was 3.5 or 34 ng/ml with different hormone and antibody preparations used for the assay. The enzyme immunoassays were used to determine oLH and oFSH levels in plasma from ewes of two breeds during the oestrous cycle. The assays detected the first FSH surge coincident with the LH surge, the second FSH surge about 24 h later and the periodic fluctuations of FSH concentrations during the luteal phase of the oestrous cycle. These enzyme immunoassays are an efficient and economic alternative to the established radioimmunoassays (RIA) for oLH and oFSH. 相似文献

Summary A solid‐phase enzymeimmunoassay (EIA) was developed for progesterone, based on horse radish peroxidase as the enzyme‐label and Dasp® (sheep anti‐rabbit Ig, covalently linked to cellulose) for separation of antibody‐bound and free hormone. The validity of the assay was substantiated in accordance with criteria for sensitivity, precision, accuracy and specificity; it is simple to perform and can be done in one day. Milk samples were taken on the day of A.I. (day 0) and on day 21 from 60 dairy cows which belonged to an artificial insemination (A.I.)station in the central part of Thailand. Conception rate (C. R.) after first A.I., as diagnosed by the milk‐progesterone test, was 31.7 per cent. Based on rectal exploration on day 84–93 and on ‘non‐return’ at 85 days, C. R. was 20.0 per cent and 23.3 per cent, respectively. All animals except one showed non‐luteal phase progesterone levels at the time of A.I. It is concluded that low C. R. in these cows is not due to inseminations during the luteal phase of the oestrous cycle. 相似文献

Milk samples were collected from 21 non-pregnant cows to study the ability of milk whey to support in vitro bactericidal activity of neutrophils against Actinomyces pyogenes. Significant differences (P less than 0.01) existed in opsonising ability of milk whey samples from individual cows. Antibody titres to A pyogenes in milk whey were determined using an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Bactericidal activity of neutrophils incubated with milk whey was positively correlated (P less than 0.05) with titres of IgG2 and IgM antibodies but not with IgG1 or IgA antibodies. 相似文献

Studies on the application of enzyme immunoassays for the Fusarium mycotoxins deoxynivalenol, 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol, and zearalenone. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Polyclonal antisera against zearalenone (ZEA) were produced in rabbits after immunization with ZEA-oxime coupled to human serum albumin. Using these antibodies and a ZEA-oxime-horseradish peroxidase conjugate in a competitive direct enzyme immunoassay (EIA), the detection limit for ZEA was 70 pg/ml. The relative cross-reactivities of the assay with ZEA, alpha-zearalenol, beta-zearalenol, zearalanone, alpha-zearalanol, and beta-zearalanol, respectively, were 100%, 37.3%, 7.2%, 59.2%, 5.3%, and 3.9%, respectively. This EIA and two EIAs for deoxynivalenol (DON) and 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol(3-AcDON) (Usleber et al., 1991) were used to analyze wheat samples. The limits of determination for DON, 3-AcDON, and ZEA in wheat were 200 ppb, 50 ppb, and 20 ppb, respectively. The analysis of reference materials (wheat flour) containing DON by EIA showed good agreement with the nominal values. The EIA for ZEA was in addition used to analyze biological fluids, obtained during a feeding trial. Two lactating cows were administered 25 mg and 100 mg ZEA per day, respectively, over a period of 6 days. Serum, milk, urine, and feces were assayed in the ZEA-EIA with and without sample treatment with beta-glucuronidase prior to the analysis. Maximum toxin levels (ZEA-equivalents) found in milk were 0.4 and 1.2 ppb (glucuronides). The toxin concentration in milk decreased rapidly after the last toxin administration. In the urine, maximum levels of toxin-glucuronide conjugates were 23 ppb and 24 ppb, respectively. The serum toxin levels corresponded to those found in milk. In the feces, mean values were 150 ppb and 500 ppb, respectively, no conjugated toxins were found in feces. 相似文献

A total of 731 serums, all from Merino rams from 20 farms, were tested for antibodies against Leptospira interrogans serovars hardjo, pomona and tarassovi using the microscopic agglutination test (MAT). The enzyme immunoassay (EIA) technique was used to test all serums for IgM and IgG antibodies to serovar hardjo. In the MAT, reactions to serovar hardjo were most common with 236 rams (32.3%) reacting at 1/100 or greater. Only 1.9% of serums reacted against serovar tarassovi and 1.1% against serovar pomona. The percentage of sheep with positive MAT reactions to serovar hardjo ranged from 0 0 to 94.9 between farms. When using EIA, 46 (6.2%) of the serums were positive for IgM antibody and 246 (33.6%) were positive for IgG antibody. Correlation of the EIA for detection of IgG antibody with the MAT was good. The EIA detection of IgG antibody was considered to be a good alternative test to the MAT for epidemiological studies in sheep. 相似文献

Immunoglobulin class-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were developed for detecting antibodies against avian rotavirus in serum, intestinal contents, and bile from experimentally infected specific-pathogen-free (SPF) chickens. Both indirect and antibody-capture (AbC) assays were developed based on monoclonal antibodies specific for chicken IgG, IgM, and IgA. Treatment of purified rotavirus with sodium thiocyanate before coating the plate improved the rotavirus-specific reading in the indirect assay. Use of Immunolon 2 plates facilitated attachment of monoclonal antibodies to the plate in the AbC assay. Addition of 5% powdered skim milk to the diluent buffer reduced nonspecific background readings. The indirect assay was superior for detecting rotavirus-specific IgG, whereas the AbC assay was better for detecting rotavirus-specific IgM and IgA. The presence of intestinal contents in the assay wells did not reduce the measurable titers of IgG, IgM, or IgA. These assays showed that SPF chickens produced systemic and mucosal antibodies against avian rotavirus. 相似文献

Serological assessment of chlamydial infection in the koala by a slide EIA technique 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
H. UENO S. MIZUNO† I. TAKASHIMA† R. OSAWA‡ W. BLANSHARD‡ P. TIMMS§ N. WHITE§ N. HASHIMOTO† 《Australian veterinary journal》1991,68(12):393-396
A rapid and simplified slide enzyme immunosorbent assay (EIA) was developed for the diagnosis of chlamydial infection in the koala. HeLa 229 cells infected with koala strain Chlamydia psittaci were fixed on the surface of multiwell slides and used as the antigen. The assay consisted of first reacting koala antiserum with the fixed C psittaci antigen, followed by reaction with biotinylated rabbit anti-koala IgG, ABC reagent and substrate. The chlamydial EIA antibody titres obtained were compared with those of a complement fixation (CF) test using koala strain C psittaci as antigen. Of 35 koala sera tested, 16 CF positive sera (greater than or equal to 1:8) also had a positive titre (greater than or equal to 1:200) in the slide EIA test (sensitivity 93.8%, 15/16). Nineteen CF negative sera were also negative in the slide EIA (specificity 100%, 19/19). Sixty-eight samples of koala blood were collected by ear-prick using a sampling paper method and were assayed by both tests. Sensitivity of the slide EIA was 100% (15/15) and specificity of the test was 96.2% (51/53). To simplify the slide EIA for use as a practical screening test, a 3-point serum dilution series (1:100, 1:200, 1:400) was used. This 3-point slide EIA was compared with the CF test using sheep strain chlamydial antigen. Thirty-nine sera were assayed by both tests. The sensitivity of the 3-point method was 85.7% (6/7) and the specificity was 71.9% (23/32) as compared with the sheep antigen CF test.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The aim of this study was to validate a direct time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay (TR-FIA) for quantifying progesterone concentrations in milk during the bovine oestrous cycle. Holstein-Friesian and suckled and non-suckled Japanese Black cows were used to demonstrate the relationship between milk and plasma progesterone concentrations and to monitor progesterone profiles in milk and plasma during the oestrous cycle. The minimum detection level of the assay was 1.53ng/mL. Progesterone concentrations in milk and plasma changed in a similar manner throughout the oestrous cycle in dairy and beef cows, and milk and plasma progesterone profiles were significantly correlated (P<0.001). The study confirmed that a direct TR-FIA can be used to monitor the oestrous cycle in cattle and to quantify progesterone concentrations in whole milk. 相似文献
