Abstract
An immunoassay is provided for cholesterol epoxide. To prepare the antibodies used in the immunoassay, novel immunogens, are prepared which comprise a 3,5(6)-transdiaxial-dihydroxycholestane-6(5)-yl-hapten adduct linked to a covalently bonded bridge to a carrier protein. To detect cholesterol epoxide in the sample, it is converted to the hapten adduct, then contacted with the selected antibody.
