- 2. Process for determining gender of a fetus carried in a female, comprising obtaining a sample of blood or amniotic fluid from the female and measuring the H-Y antigen in said sample by contacting said sample with monoclonal anti-H-Y antibodies selected from the group consisting of 12/44, 12/49, and 6/11 produced by hybridoma cell line ATCC HB 9070, ATCC HB 9071 or ATCC HB 9072 and observing reaction between said sample and said monoclonal antibodies, presence of said reaction indicating that the gender of said fetus is male absence of said reaction indicating the gender of said fetus is female.
