Abstract

Three haptenes for the determination of Reichstein's compound S and progesterone were prepared in which hemisuccinyloxy group was attached to the β-side of the steroid skeleton (compounds VII, XIII and XV). These haptenes were bound to BSA and used for preparation of antisera. The specificity of these antisera was compared with that of antisera obtained with usual immunogens.
