An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using a homologous combination of
antiserum raised against testosterone-3-0-carboxymethyloxime-bovine serum albumin
(T-3-0-CMO-BSA ) and penicillinase-labelled T-3-0-CMO was developed.
This assay was utilized to measure testosterone in serum samples of male and female
subjects. The sensitivity of the assay is 50pg/well and the antibody developed crossreacted
in less than 20% with 5α-dehydrotestosterone (5α DHT) . lnter- and
intraassay variations and all other validation factors such as recovery, test of
parallelism, etc. were well in the acceptable ranges. Comparison of testosterone
values of 32 plasma specimens obtained by solid phase ELISA method and
radioimmunoassay (RIA) showed a good correlation (0. 96).
