Particle counting immunoassay of choriogonadotropin using monoclonal antibodies.

A latex particle immunoassay has been developed for the quantification of choriogonadotropin in human serum using two monoclonal antibodies specific for the beta-chain of the hormone. The assay, based on optical counting of monomeric particles, was achieved in 40 min and the calibration curve was linear between 10 and 200 IU/l. Intra- and interassay precisions at three different levels of the curve varied between 3.

Turbidimetric latex immunoassay of placental lactogen on microtiter plates.

In this latex immunoassay for human placental lactogen, microtiter plates are used as the reaction vessel and the absorbance at 405 nm is measured to quantify the reactions. This 30-min assay necessitates only one serum dilution and two pipetting steps. The calibration curve extends from 0.
