title: A chemiluminescent immunoassay for 17 alpha-methyltestosterone.
abstract: An immunoassay for the xenobiotic anabolic compound methyltestosterone (MT) is presented. The detection is based on chemiluminescence of a MT-isoluminol conjugate. Applications are presented for detection of methyltestosterone and cross-reacting compounds in bovine urine and tissues of application sites isolated from slaughtered cattle, illegally treated with hormonal anabolics.
