    Monoclonal antibodies are used to measure hormone levels in blood and detect pregnancy. Pregnant women produce the hormone HCG, which is excreted in urine and binds to monoclonal antibodies on pregnancy test strips, causing a visible line to appear and indicate a positive result. Monoclonal antibodies have other medical uses besides pregnancy testing, such as measuring other hormone levels.
