HCG alpha antibody

Catalog No. ABIN3026406

The Mouse Monoclonal anti-HCG alpha antibody is suitable to detect HCG alpha in samples from Human. It has been validated for IHC (p).

Quick Overview for HCG alpha antibody (ABIN3026406)

Target: HCG alpha

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: Un-conjugated

Application: Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))

Grade: Carrier-free

Clone: HCGa-53

Product Details

Purpose: hCG alpha Antibody / Luteinizing Hormone alpha (azide and preservative free)

Characteristics: This antibody reacts with a protein of ~13 kDa, identified as alpha sub-unit of HCG. HCG is a glycoprotein which is secreted in large quantities by normal trophoblasts. HCG is present only in trace amounts in non-pregnant urine and sera but rises sharply during pregnancy. HCG is composed of two non-identical, non-covalently linked polypeptide chains designated as the alpha and beta subunits. The alpha subunit is identical to that of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH).

Purification: Protein G purified monoclonal antibody

Immunogen: Recombinant protein was used as the immunogen for this hCG alpha antibody.

Isotype: IgG1, kappa

Application Details

Application Notes: Variations in protocols, secondaries and substrates may require the hCG alpha antibody to be titered for optimal performance.

1. No pretreatment required for FFPE section testing. HIER is not recommended.
2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.

Restrictions: For Research Use only
