ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a monoclonal antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof having binding specificity for ouabain, wherein the antibody or antigen binding fragment does not crossreact with digoxin. Preferably the anti-ouabain monoclonal antibody can bind ouabain with an affinity of at least about 10−7M, preferably 10−8M, and more preferably 10−9M. The invention also relates to diagnostic and therapeutic uses of the monoclonal antibodies described herein.
