Studies on the improvement of reproductive efficiency in Korean native cows -Development of radioimmunoassay for progesterone-

한우(韓牛)의 번식효율(繁殖效率) 증진(增進)에 관한 연구(硏究) -Progesterone측정(測定)을 위한 방사선면역분석법(放射線免疫分析法)의 개발(開發)-

Radioimmunoassay for progesterone in Korean native cows was developed using the anti-4-pregnen-$11{\alpha}$-ol-3,20-dione-hemisuccinate bovine serum albumin as an antibody. The final dilution of antibody was 1 : 5,000. The percentage recoveries of [$^3H$] progesterone was $83.5{\pm}1.6$. The sensitivity of the assay was 8 pg per ml. The intra- and interassay coefficients of variation for the quality controls were 6.2 and 10.4%, respectively. This radioimmunoassay can be applied to puberty, estrus dectection, pregnancy diagnosis, postpartum period and diagnosis of reproductive disorders in domestic animals.

항체로서 4-pregnen-$11{\alpha}$-ol-3,20-dione-hemisuccinate bovine serum albumin을 사용하여 progesterone 측정을 위한 방사선 면역분석법을 개발하였다. 항체의 최종 희석 배율은 1 : 5,000이었다. Label progesterone의 회수율은 84%였으며 최저 측정치는 8pg/ml이었다. Intra- and interassay coefficients of variation은 각각 6.2, 10.4%이었다. 방사선 면역 분석법은 가축에서 성성숙(性成熟), 발정확인(發情確認), 임신진단(姙娠診斷), 분만(分娩)후 난소기능회복(卵巢機能回復) 및 번식장애(繁殖障碍)의 진단(診斷)등에 적용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
