An evaluation of LH- and FSH-RIA BEAD kits based on IRMA was carried out. The results obtained with the methods characterized by the use of monoclonal antibodies, i.e., one is linked to solid phase, and another is isotopieally labeled, were compared with those determined by the Daiichi LH- and FSH-kits. Intra- and inter-assay precision, recovery, linearity, and specificity of both methods were favorable without exceptions. The cross reactivity of the LH kit to 5000 mIU/ml hCG revealed within the range of less than 3 mIU/ml. Significant correlations were observed between the results derived from conventional Daiichi LH- and FSH-kits. The results from the conventional kits exhibited 30 to 40% of those from the Daiichi kits, considered to be mainly due to the difference in standard calibrations used. Among the individuals within the normal menstrual cycle, the serum LH and FSH-levels determined by the present kits gave a typical pattern with a peak in the preovulatory phase. On the other hand, the LH- and FSH-values of individuals in normal pregnancy revealed strikingly decreased in comparison with those of non-pregnant women.
