The present invention provides for a method of selecting an antibody
against a target substance to be measured, which comprises selecting the
antibody against the target substance by antigen-antibody reaction in the
presence of a substance interfering with the antigen-antibody reaction.
That is, an antigen and a labeled antigen are reacted with the antibody
in the presence of an interfering substance, such as an environment
pollutant, and on the basis of the degree of reaction thereof, the
antibody against the target substance, which is highly resistant to the
interfering substance, is selected. Thereby, even if a test sample is
contaminated with a substance interfering with antigen-antibody reaction,
the antibody, which is highly resistant to the substance interfering with
antigen-antibody reaction, is not influenced by the interfering substance
and gives a correct value in the quantification. The present invention
further provides for antibodies, which are highly resistant to the
substance interfering with the antigen-antibody reaction, and hybridomas
producing the antibodies.
