Abstract
The present invention is directed to antibodies, in particular monoclonal antibodies, which specifically bind to somatotropin binding proteins of animals, but not with the corresponding somatotropin receptors. The antibodies may be used alone to enhance the growth of animals, or may be used together with somatotropin to potentiate the effect of somatotropin in animals. The antibodies may also be used to assay the level of somatotropin binding protein of animals.
