Antibodies specific for hLH beta core fragment

摘要

This invention provides an antibody which specifically binds to hLH beta cf without cross-reacting with hLH, hLH beta or hCG beta cf. In an embodiment, the monoclonal antibody is designated B505. In a further embodiment, the hybridoma cell line producing the monoclonal antibody B 505 is designated ATCC Accession No.12000. This invention provides different uses of the antibodies. Finally, this invention provides a method for determining the amount of hLH beta cf or hLH beta cf-related molecule in a sample.
