Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides monoclonal antibodies and derivatives thereof suitable for use in immunodiagnostic assay of testosterone. In particular, such reagents are disclosed having affinity for testosterone of at least about 10 M and exhibiting less than 0.05 % cross-reactivity with dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEAS), less than 10 % cross-reactivity with 5 alpha -dihydrotestosterone (5 alpha -DHT) and less than 5 % cross-reactivity with androstenedione determined on the basis of ED50 values.
