    摘要: This invention provides methods and compositions for testing for pregnancy and non-pregnancy in ungulates and non-hoofed ruminates. The tests provided by this invention are useful during a time that coincides with the estrus cycle during which breeding occurs or the first estrus cycle after breeding of a non-pregnant animal. The tests provided by this invention are useful in estrus and ovulation synchronization programs, with pregnancy testing useful at a time allowing for resynchronization of non-pregnant animals within the first estrus cycle. The tests provided by this invention assay for the presence, absence, or level of a selected IFN-τ-induced protein in a sample from a female animal. The tests of this invention are useful for testing cells, blood, plasma, serum, cells, milk, nasal secretions, ocular secretions, vaginal secretions, urine, and saliva samples. The tests provided by this invention are immunoassays. Polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies useful in such tests, as well as methods of making such antibodies and hybridoma cell lines, are provided. Devices for performing such tests, methods of using such devices, and methods of making such devices are provided. Kits containing such devices are also provided. This invention provides a method for determining readiness for breeding. This invention provides a method for resynchronizing breeding with breeding cycle times of one estrus cycle or shorter. This invention also provides a method for breeding by forcing estrus and artificial insemination by appointment.

    摘要: The present invention relates to the detection of HLA-G. Antibodies to both soluble and membrane bound HLA-G are disclosed. Exemplary antibodies include 2C/C8, 3C/G4, and 4H84. 2C/C8 and 4H84 antibodies bind to the same region of HLA-G, which is a different region than that bound by 3C/G4. Methods of detection and diagnosis are disclosed as well as kits, including a miniaturized assay suitable for a clinical setting. Further, a method of selecting an embryos for in vitro fertilization is disclosed. A sandwich ELISA test is provided using two antibodies that bind to HLA-G at different regions. The HLA-G test according to the invention is over 1000 times more selective in binding to HLA-G than to antigens HLA-A2, HLA-B4, HLA-C, or mixed WBC preparations.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for evaluating estrogen dependent physiological conditions includes a substrate having an anthocyanin pigment applied thereto. The pigment yields a color response indicative of how the body fluid responds to changes in its capacity to absorb free estrogens. The pigment is contacted by the body fluid sample, and the response thereto is connected through color response or optical density measurements to predetermined physiological conditions.

    摘要: The invention relates to chemotactic factors for human spermatozoa that are purifiable from human follicular fluid. The factors are of peptidic and hydrophilic nature and have, one, a molecular size of about 13 kDa and, the other, an apparent molecular size smaller than 1.3 kDa, as determined by high pressure gel filtration. They are for use in procedures related to human fertilization, such as in various types of assisted fertilization, particularly artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization, micromanipulation and direct microinjection of sperm into oocytes.

    摘要: A method for monitoring mammalian reproductive cycles by monitoring variations in the quantity of one or more low molecular weight volatile compound having a molecular weight of less than 50 grams per mole present in a body constituent sample is disclosed. Samples of a body constituent selected from the group of humoral fluid, breath and body cavity air are collected from a female mammal a multiple number of times during the reproductive cycle. The quantity of a low molecular weight volatile compound in each sample is measured. In the preferred embodiment, the low molecular weight volatile compound, acetaldehyde, will be measured and monitored. Variations in the quantity of the low molecular weight volatile compound appearing in each sample is monitored to determine the phase of the mammal's reproductive cycle and to predict the occurrence of ovulation.

    摘要: A portable fertility tester for identifying days during the menstrual cycle when a woman is most likely to conceive has a circular disc, with transparent regions indexed to each of the days of the cycle, rotatably mounted within a housing and cover. The housing and cover form a window for exposing a transparent region on the disc for depositing a saliva specimen. An ocular is provided with a magnifying lens for examining the appearance of the saliva which is indicative of fertility, and a light emitting diode is provided for backlighting the specimen during examination. The cover may be removed to allow replacement of the disc for each menstrual cycle.
