Concentration and relationship to progesterone of progesterone-binding globulin in pregnant guinea-pigs: measurement by progesterone tracer binding assay.

A single-point progesterone tracer binding assay (TBA) was developed to measure the concentration of progesterone-binding globulin (PBG) in the serum of pregnant guinea-pigs. Tritiated progesterone was added to dilutions of a reference serum, the percentage bound calculated and a standard curve constructed. The amount of progesterone tracer bound to serum samples was determined, and the concentration of binding protein in the sample relative to the reference was calculated. The molar concentration in the reference serum was determined by Scatchard analysis. The TBA could readily process 30 samples per day. There was a rapid rise in PBG concentrations between days 15 and 20 of gestation, in parallel with progesterone concentrations. The molar ratio of PBG: progesterone was approximately 10:1 after this time, until about day 45 when there was an increase in ratio.
