Obtaining and evaluating the anti-PMSG serum
Keywords:
PMSG, Bioassay, Murine, PMSG antiserumAbstract
A PMSG antiserum was produced in an ovariectomized ewe by giving three monthly injections of 5000 I.U. of PMSG in complete Freund's adjuvant. It was tested by bioassay in mice and rats, evaluating the blockade capacity against PMSG ovariotrophic effect. The antiserum blockades completely the effect of PMSG, being effective the lowest doses used (11 of antiserum by each I.U. of PMSG).
