Monoclonal antibodies specifically immunologically reactive to thiol-modified glutathione and hybridoma cell lines producing such monoclonal antibodies. A method of producing antibodies specifically immunologically reactive with reduced glutathione by immunizing an animal using a thiol-modified glutathione, for example, a glutathione-N-ethylmaleimide-keyhole limpet hemocyanin conjugate. A method of utilizing the antibodies produced to quantitate the amount of reduced glutathione in a biological sample, to monitor glutathione-associated conditions, to monitor the formation of normal metabolic intermediates and to monitor the detoxification of foreign compounds.
