Progesterone is produced after ovulation in the corpus luteum and during pregnancy in the placenta. It is also produced in the adrenal glands. In women, progesterone levels are relatively low during the preovulatory phase, rise after ovulation, and are elevated during the luteal phase. Progesterone levels tend to be < 2 ng/ml prior to ovulation, and > 5 ng/ml after ovulation. If pregnancy occurs, progesterone levels are initially maintained at luteal levels. With the onset of the luteal-placental shift in progesterone support of the pregnancy, levels start to rise further and may reach 100-200 ng/ml at term. After delivery and during lactation, progesterone levels are very low. Progesterone levels are relatively low in children and postmenopausal women. Adult males have levels similar to those in women during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle.

Two antibodies binding to the same, or closely located epitopes, belong to the same group and hence cannot be used as a pair in a sandwich assay. Epitope group numbering does not give any detailed information where the epitope is located.

Please note that pair recommendations are based on results obtained in our laboratory. Equally good results may be obtained using other pairs and therefore these recommendations should be taken only as a directive.

Please note that the shelf life given on page one is based on real time stability testing at +2-8 oC in the product buffer.
Stability testing is performed in the product buffer to see whether different temperatures affect the antigen binding, charge or composition of the antibody. The maximum duration of the test is 21 days, except for the +45 oC only 7 days. p H , 1 4 D A Y S , + 4 o C
Stability testing is performed to see whether pH affects the antigen binding, charge or composition of the antibody during 14 days at +4 oC. M I S C E L L A N E O U S
