Progesterone-3-CMO:BSA Antigen

This small-molecule hapten conjugate from Antibodies.com pairs progesterone with bovine serum albumin (BSA) through a 3-carboxymethyloxime (CMO) linker, a configuration routinely used to raise anti-progesterone antibodies and to build competitive immunoassays for steroid hormone quantification.

Supplied as 5 mg of lyophilized powder in a vial, the conjugate reconstitutes readily in buffer or water and serves as an immunogen for host-species immunisation protocols or as a coating antigen on microplate wells for competitive ELISA development.

Typical applications include polyclonal and monoclonal antibody production against the progesterone-3-CMO hapten, development of clinical and veterinary diagnostic assays (for example reproductive cycle monitoring and pregnancy testing in cattle, horses, and small animals), and use as a calibration reagent in reproductive endocrinology research workflows. After reconstitution, researchers generally aliquot the material to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles and store at -20 °C protected from moisture to preserve antigenicity over time.

For research use only.
