Immunologic pregnancy test in the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta).
In a rhesus monkey population, 90 matings were performed. Chorionic gonadotropin was extracted from the urine using a modified kaoline-acetone procedure. To diagnose pregnancy, a commercial human immunologic pregnancy test was used. The test method seems to give both a false positive and a false negative rate of zero percent.
