  • Title: Enzyme immunoassay of oestrogen and progesterone receptors in uterine and intrauterine tissue during human pregnancy and labour.
    Author: Padayachi T, Pegoraro RJ, Rom L, Joubert SM.
    Journal: J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol; 1990 Nov 30; 37(4):509-11. PubMed ID: 2278834.
    Abstract:
    Oestrogen and progesterone receptors were studied in the non-pregnant state, in early pregnancy and at term using monoclonal antibody enzyme immunoassays. Receptors for both steroids were found in tissues from non-pregnant patients and patients in early pregnancy. At term oestrogen receptors were undetectable in all tissues studied. Progesterone receptors were undetectable in chorion, amnion and placenta at term, while present in extremely low concentrations in decidua and myometrium.
