Radioimmunoassay of progesterone in unextracted serum.
Abstract We describe a rapid, precise radiommunoassay for progesterone in 25 muL of unextracted serum. Progesterone is released from its binding protein by adding an optimal amount of cortisol, which binds to the same protein (cortisol binding globulin) as progesterone.
