Monoclonal antibodies to progesterone 11alpha-hydroxy hemisuccinate were prepared. Supernatant of clone hybridoma reacted positively to the progesterone solution. Dot-blot analysis revealed a single precipitation band when rabbit anti-mouse IgM and anti-mouse kappa were used. These monoclonal antibodies did not react with pregnenolone, testosterone, estrone, estradiol-17beta, aldosterone, hydrocortisone (cortisol), cortisone, corticosterone and 11alpha-dehydroxycortisone (DOC). Radioimmunoassay using those monoclonal antibodies was developed. Data from this assay supported the following conclusions: (1) association constant (KA) of supernatant of clone PrM for progesterone was 2 x 10(10), (2) monoclonal antibodies reacted to progesterone most efficiently at 1:10,000 dilution, and (3) efficiency of reactivity of monoclonal antibodies was higher than that of rabbit antibodies
