title: Preparation of dehydroepiandrosterone, testosterone and progesterone antigens through 7-carboxymethyl derivatives: characteristics of the antisera to testosterone and progesterone.
abstract: Dehydroepiandrosterone, testosterone and progesterone 7-carboxymethyl derivatives were prepared: 7 alpha and 7 beta epimers were separated and coupled to bovine serum albumin. Preliminary studies of the antisera induced by these antigens showed that they have high affinity and good specificity.
