Abstract
According to the present invention, there are provided a monoclonal antibody to prostate-derived acid phosphatase and a method for determination of prostate-derived acid phosphatase using the monoclonal antibody. Prostate-derived acid phosphatase is boostered in animal and spleen cells isolated from the animal are fused with myeloma cells. The hybridoma capable of producing a monoclonal antibody having extremely high specificity to prostate-derived acid phosphatase is subjected to cloning. Using the monoclonal antibody produced by the hybridoma, prostate-derived acid phosphatase in a sample can be detected with extremely high sensitivity.
