Abstract
The present invention provides an improved antibody specific for the inhibin/activin beta-B subunit polypeptide. The antibody is highly specific for the beta-B subunit in a sample, and does not require processing of the sample with heat or oxidizing agents. Thus, discovery of the new antibody provides for simpler, more accurate immunoassays for a wider range of sample types.
