ABSTRACT:
This invention provides an antibody which specifically binds to hLHβcf without cross-reacting with hLH, hLHβ or hCGβcf. 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 hLHβcf or hLHβcf-related molecule in a sample.
