The suitability of several monoclonal antibodies for specific radioimmunoassay of serum human growth hormone was tested. Sera from pregnant women with high human chorionic somatomammotropin levels were used. From both theoretical and experimental considerations, some specifications were recommended in order to select appropriate monoclonal antibodies for clinical determinations.
