Abstract

Monoclonal Antibodies which are specific for a complex of a chelating agent and a metallic ion are described. The antibody has an association constant (K.sub.a) for the complex which is at least about ten times greater than the K.sub.a for the chelating agent alone or its complex with another metal.
