. When one of these less abundant isotopes is substituted for the common form in a molecule, this is known as ‘labelling’ and creates a ‘tracer’. The original molecule is known as the tracee. The tracer and tracee have the same chemical properties. The

A single-point progesterone tracer binding assay (TBA) was developed to measure the concentration of progesterone-binding globulin (PBG) in the serum of pregnant guinea-pigs. Tritiated progesterone was added to dilutions of a reference serum, the percentage bound calculated and a standard curve constructed. The amount of progesterone tracer bound to serum samples was determined, and the concentration of binding protein in the sample relative to the reference was calculated. The molar concentration in the reference serum was determined by Scatchard analysis. The TBA could readily process 30 samples per day. There was a rapid rise in PBG concentrations between days 15 and 20 of gestation, in parallel with progesterone concentrations. The molar ratio of PBG: progesterone was approximately 10: 1 after this time, until about day 45 when there was an increase in ratio.
