This antibody was developed using progesterone 3-(O-carboxymethyl) oxime-KLH conjugates as the immunogen and affinity purified with progesterone-agarose affinity chromatography and competitively eluted by free progesterone. The anti-progesterone antibody was conjugated to horse radish peroxidase (HRP) via reductive amination. The antibody conjugates can be utilized for the detection and quantization of free progesterone.

Progesterone is a C-21 steroid hormone involved in the female menstrual cycle, pregnancy (supports gestation) and embryogenesis of humans and other species. Progesterone belongs to class of hormones called progestogens, and is the major naturally occurring human progestogen.
