“…The disparity in cross-reactivities is in agreement with a previous study carried out in this laboratory investigating the matrix effects of bovine bile on two polyclonal antibodies raised against 19-nortestosterone. 25 The strength of the interaction between an antibody and an antigen is known as the affinity. Polyclonal antisera contain complex mixtures of antibodies with different affinities, which are affected by temperature, pH and solvent.…”

“…The standard curve was: y = -0.3194x + 1.6316, R 2 = 0.9927 The maximum signal of the assay was always around 1.5 units of absorbance. The sensitivity reached by this immunoassay proved suffi cient for analysing samples and superior to the previously reported immunoassay for NT (Cooper et al, 1998). The optimized immunoassay was evaluated to determine its selectivity by fi ve structurally related steroids (testosterone, medroxyprogesterone, epitestosterone, progesterone and dehydroepiandrosterone).…”

“…[4][5][6] To improve extraction, these conjugates should be deconjugated to compounds soluble in organic solvents prior to extraction. This is achieved by enzymatic hydrolysis 6,7 or chemical hydrolysis using methanolic hydrogen chloride, 8 techniques used prior to determination by immunoassay. Cooper et al 8 compared the two methods for diethylstilboestrol in bovine urine and found that, on the whole, enzymatic hydrolysis was more efficient than chemical hydrolysis.…”
