Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to haptens and conjugate labels having improved specificity for anti-cortisol antibodies, methods for their preparation and use in immunoassays for the detection of cortisol. More particularly, the present invention relates to conjugates comprising horseradish peroxidase and reduced cortisol. The present invention relates to compositions comprising novel reduced cortisol conjugates, methods for their preparation and use in immunoassays for cortisol.In another aspect, it relates to conjugates of reduced cortisol as immunogens or haptens for eliciting anti-cortisol or anti-reduced cortisol antibodies.
