| LH

Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a hormone produced by gonadotropic cells in the anterior pituitary gland. The production of LH is regulated by gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus.LH is a heterodimeric glycoprotein, each monomer unit is a glycoprotein molecule, which is a functional protein composed of an α subunit and a β subunit. Its structure is similar to that of other glycoprotein hormones, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).
 

| Typical data

As the OD values of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique, wash technique or temperature effects), the operator should establish a standard curve for each test. Typical standard curve and data are provided below for reference only.

 

Concentration (mIU/mL)	100	50	25	12.5	6.25	3.12	1.56	0
OD	0.216	0.298	0.417	0.669	0.955	1.405	1.79	1.865

 

| Repeatability

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay)：CV% < 10%; Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays)：CV% < 10%
 

| Recovery

The recovery of Horse LH spiked at three different levels in samples throughout the range of the assay was evaluated in various matrices.

 

Sample Type	Range(%)	Average Recovery(%)
Serum(n=8)	81-101	96
Plasma(n=8)	92-105	101
Cell Culture Supernates(n=8)	97-108	105

 

| Linearity

Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Horse LH and diluted with Universal Diluent to produce samples with values within the range of the assay.

 

		Serum(n=4)	Plasma(n=4)	Cell Culture Supernates(n=4)
1 : 2	Range (%)	83-95	87-96	90-110
	Average (%)	91	93	96
1 : 4	Range (%)	89-104	87-108	105-115
	Average (%)	93	98	110
