Seven murine hybridomas were established producing IgG1 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against three different epitopes of human alpha-fetoprotein (alpha FP). The interaction of two of these mAbs (AFP-01 and AFP-02) with the antigen was strongly inhibited by calcium-chelating agents. The mAb AFP-11 could be used for estimation of alpha FP by RIA in the concentration range of 5-100 ng/ml. Several combinations of the mAbs could be used in a two-site sandwich-ELISA for similar purposes. Immunoaffinity chromatography on a column of immobilized mAb AFP-01 permitted the purification of alpha FP.
