The high-affinity monoclonal anti-estradiol antibody 9D3 presents a specificity defect towards estradiol-3sulphate and 3-glucuronide conjugates incompatible with use in direct immunoassays. The corresponding single-chain variable fragment (scFv), cloned and produced in E. coli, exhibited a 10-fold l
