Abstract

Disclosed are 6.alpha.-derivatized estriol compounds which, when conjugated to a protein, are useful in the in vivo preparation of antibodies specific to estriol. When labeled with a detectable label, the estriol derivatives are useful as haptens in a competitive immunoassay for estriol which demonstrate superior sensitivity with respect to estriol specific antibodies.
