Product Information

Prolactin (PRL) is a polypeptide hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. Release of prolactin is pulsatory, and regulated by hypothalamic releasing and inhibitory factors. High prolactin levels are observed during pregnancy and the postpartum-lactation period. Other physiological states associated with high prolactin levels include physical and emotional stress, sleep and hypoglycaemia. Hyperprolactinaemia can cause suppression of gonadal function. Prolactin measurement therefor form an essential part of investigations fo infertility. In women, symptoms that may accompany hyperprolactinaemia included prolactin secreting macro- and microadenomas hypothyroidism and renal failure.
Male: 4.0-12.0 ng/ml
Female:
Menstrual cycle: 1.2-22.0 ng/ml
Menopausal: 0.7-17.0 ng/ml

This assay is intended for the quantitative determination of PRL in human serum or plasma for diagnostic use. This 96 well ELISA can provide up to 42 patient tests. PRL in the sample is bound to the monoclonal antibody that is immobilised on the 96 well plate. The antigen-antibody complex is then reacted with anti-PRL horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugate resulting in the PRL antigen being sandwiched between the solid phase antibody and the enzyme conjugate. Then the enzyme HRP in the bound reaction reacts with the substrate to develop a blue colour which changes to yellow on addition of the stop solution. The colour intensity, as determined by reading absorbance at 450nm, is proportional to the concentration of PRL in the sample.
