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

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 development of a sensitive enzymeimmunoassay (EIA) for the determination of estrone (E1) and estradiol-17beta (E2 beta) in bovine plasma is described. The assay is a homologous double-antibody EIA with E2beta 17hemisuccinate (HS) as hapten for the immunoreactive reagent. The antiserum was raised against E2beta 17HS bovine serum albumin conjugate in the rabbit, and E2beta 17HS-horseradish peroxidase was used as steroid-enzyme conjugate. Each estrogen EIA was distinguished only by using the each working standard and sample for the EIA. Bovine plasma E1 and E2beta were extracted and purified before EIA. The antiserum was used at 1:1,750,000 dilutions for EIA. Estrone and E2beta showed high cross-reactivity with the antiserum (E1: 350.7%, E2beta:100%). The sensitivities were <0.03 pg/well for E1 and <0.12 pg/well for E2beta. Recovery rates of E1 and E2beta added to bovine blood plasma were 94.5% and 93.9%, respectively. The precision for EIA of estrogens was below 9.7%. The profiles of either estrogen as determined by EIA corresponded closely well with follicle dynamics in the cow during the estrous cycles and with placental function in pregnant animals. In conclusion, our new EIA can be applied with sufficient sensitivities, recovery and precision for the routine analysis of E1 and E2beta concentrations in bovine plasma.  相似文献

Telemetry studies that track animals through space and time can lead to advances in scientific understanding that are vital in conservation efforts. For example, telemetry studies of the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) have shed light on many aspects of panda biology, but small sample sizes in each separate study make it difficult to draw broad conclusions. To overcome this problem we conducted the first synthesis of all 5 panda telemetry studies conducted to date. Using these data we investigated patterns in 6 main topics: home range, space–use interactions, core areas, movement patterns, seasonal migration and natal dispersal. We found that panda home range sizes do not vary between 2 main mountain ranges (Qionglai and Qinling), as was previously believed. Our results also suggest that female pandas increase their movement in the mating season: a behavior typically attributed only to males. We found and summarized telemetry and genetic evidence for female natal dispersal in the giant panda. Our synthesis highlights the need for additional research relating panda behavior to human disturbance factors, and can aid future studies on giant pandas as well as other species.  相似文献

A homogenous enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for measurement of serum thyroxine (T4) concentration was evaluated for use with canine and feline serum. The EIA method was linear from 0 to 150 nmol T4/L for human serum, 0 to 94 nmol T4/L for feline serum and 10 to 60 nmol T4/L for canine serum. Intra- and interassay precision studies yielded coefficients of variation 相似文献

The present study was designed to examine the influence of gonadotrophins treatment on the ovarian morphology changes and plasma concentrations of steroid hormones in peripheral blood. The experiment was performed on sexually pubertal gilts (Large White x Landrace) of similar age (7-8 months) and body mass (100-110 kg) with two controlled subsequent estrous cycles. The animals were randomly divided into four groups: two control consisting of pigs with the luteal phase (n = 9, the 10th day of the estrous cycle) and the follicular phase (n = 6, the 20th day of the estrous cycle) and two experimental ones consisting of animals with both mentioned periods (n = 7 and n = 9) treated with gonadotrophins (PMSG and hCG). The gilts in the luteal phase were injected (s.c.) with gonadotrophins at a daily dose of PMSG 400 and hCG 200 IU from the 16th to the 27th day (the 6th day of the next estrous cycle). The gilts in the follicular phase, were injected with the same dose of gonadotrophins but from the 8th to the 19th day of the estrous cycle. Plasma concentrations of P4, A4, T, E1, E2 and metabolite of PGF2 alpha-PGFM were determined by radioimmunoassay (RIA) method. Injections of PMSG and hCG in both experimental groups produced several times enlarged: weight, size and volume of ovaries and alterations in a number of structural elements as compared with those found in the control animals. The morphological elements presented in ovaries: corpora haemorrhagica, corpora lutea, regular and atretic follicles and first of all cysts by distinctly differentiation thickness of the walls are characteristic for cystic ovarian degeneration. Plasma concentrations all determined hormones after gonadotrophins treatment in experimental groups were increased except E1 (insignificant decrease) in luteal phase as compared with those found in the control groups. Statistically significant increase (p < 0.001) in plasma concentrations of P4, A4, and T in both experimental groups and E2 (p < 0.001) in luteal phase were noted. In peripheral plasma concentrations increase of E1 and E2 in follicular phase of the estrous cycle were insignificant.  相似文献

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

OBJECTIVE: To validate a novel high-sensitivity radioimmunoassay (RIA) procedure developed to accurately measure the relatively low serum total thyroxine (T4) concentrations of birds and reptiles and to establish initial reference ranges forT4 concentration in selected species of psittacine birds and snakes. ANIMALS: 56 healthy nonmolting adult psittacine birds representing 6 species and 42 captive snakes representing 4 species. PROCEDURE: A solid-phase RIA designed to measure free T4 concentrations in dialysates of human serum samples was used without dialysis to evaluate total T4 concentration in treated samples obtained from birds and reptiles. Serum T4 binding components were removed to allow assay of undialyzed samples. Assay validation was assessed by determining recovery of expected amounts of T4 in treated samples that were serially diluted or to which T4 was added. Intra- and interassay coefficient of variation (CV) was determined. RESULTS: Mean recovery of T4 added at 4 concentrations ranged from 84.9 to 115.0% and 95.8 to 119.4% in snakes and birds, respectively. Intra- and interassay CV was 3.8 and 11.3%, respectively. Serum total T4 concentrations for 5 species of birds ranged from 2.02 to 768 nmol/L but ranged from 3.17 to 142 nmol/L for blue-fronted Amazon parrots; concentrations ranged from 0.21 to 6.06 nmol/L for the 4 species of snakes. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This new RIA method provides a commercially available, accurate, and sensitive method for measurement of the relatively low serum T4 concentrations of birds and snakes. Initial ranges for the species evaluated were established.  相似文献

本文通过潘文石对22只秦岭大熊猫的家域观察资料为基础,获得生态年龄段和家域对数转换值等次生数据,并以次生数据为基础,对不同生态年龄段和不同季节大熊猫的家域和个体季节性迁移面积的动态特征进行定性比较分析,通过季节、性别和年龄对秦岭大熊猫种群家域动态的影响机制进行了探讨,结果发现以下新细节:(1)虽然在同一季节,大熊猫家域面积随着年龄的增长逐渐增加,但雌性个体家域面积增加不大,雄性个体也仅在夏季家域面积增加极大,秋冬季增加也不大;(2)同一生态年龄段,秦岭大熊猫家域面积:全年〉秋冬季〉夏季;(3)只是成体雄性大熊猫家域面积极显著大于雌性,但亚成体和老年个体家域面积的性别间差异不显著;(4)1~11岁,大熊猫迁移面积小且稳定,大于11.5岁后,迁移面积明显跃迂增大,保持增大趋势,但波动强度由强变弱。这表明秦岭大熊猫家域的季节、性别和年龄效应动态规律性明显。  相似文献

A commercially available radioimmunoassay (RIA) kit for measurement of human adrenocorticotropin (hACTH) was validated for use in dogs. Assay sensitivity was 3 pg/ml. Intra-assay coefficient of variation (x 100; CV) for 3 canine plasma pools was 3.0 (mean +/- SD, 33 +/- 0.99 pg/ml), 4.2 (71 +/- 2.4 pg/ml) and 3.7 (145 +/- 3.7 pg/ml) %. Interassay CV for 2 plasma pools measured in 6 assays was 9.8 (37 +/- 3.6 pg/ml) and 4.4 (76 +/- 3.4 pg/ml) %, respectively. Dilutional parallelism was documented by assaying 2 pools of canine plasma at 3 dilutions and correcting the measured result for dilution. Corrected mean concentrations for the first pool were 33 (+/- 0.99), 36 (+/- 4.3), and 33 (+/- 6.8) pg/ml; corrected mean concentrations for the second pool were 145 (+/- 5.4), 141 (+/- 10.8) and 125 (+/- 3.4) pg/ml. Recovery of 1-39hACTH added to canine plasma (6.25, 12.5, 25.0, 50.0, and 100.0 pg/ml) was linear and quantitative (slope = 0.890, R2 = 0.961). To test whether anticoagulant or the protease inhibitor, aprotinin, influences ACTH concentration in canine plasma, ACTH was measured in canine blood collected in 4 tubes containing anticoagulant: heparin (H), heparin + 500 kallikrein inhibitor units (KIU) of aprotinin/ml (HA), EDTA (E), and EDTA + aprotinin (EA). Plasma ACTH concentration was the same when samples containing H and HA, or HA and E were compared, and was significantly (P less than 0.01) lower in samples containing EA.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

The effect of four levels of progesterone on the occurrence and intensity of estrous behavior was determined in ovariectomized cows. Twelve Holsteins were bilaterally ovariectomized at least 2 mo before treatment. Progesterone (P4) was administered im two times/day for 5 d followed 72 h later with 2 mg estradiol (E2) im to induce estrous behavior. Treatments were control = oil, 100 mg P4/d, 300 mg P4/d and 500 mg P4/d. Each animal received all P4 treatments in a 4 X 4 Latin-square design. From d 2 through 6, with d 1 being the first day of P4 treatment, serum P4 concentrations averaged .3, 2.5, 6.1 and 12.3 ng/ml in treatments I to IV, respectively. Progesterone levels at the time of peak E2 (d9) were less than 1 ng/ml for treatments I, II and III and 1.8 ng/ml for treatment IV. Peak E2 levels for all groups averaged 23.9 pg/ml (12 h after E2 injection). Cows were observed continuously for 48 h after E2 injection to quantitate estrous behavior. Behavioral traits measured were: mounts initiated, mounts received, standing when mounted, chin rests initiated and chin rests received. Progesterone treatment caused a decrease in frequency of all five traits measured. As P4 levels increased, there was a linear (P less than .01) decrease in frequency of a behavioral trait. The percentage of the cows that showed each behavioral trait and mean time to first occurrence of each trait were not different after progesterone treatment, with the exception of standing behavior.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献
