hCG Holo antibody

Catalog No. ABIN3026877

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

Quick Overview for hCG Holo antibody (ABIN3026877)

Target: hCG Holo

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: Un-conjugated

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

Clone: HCGab-52

Product Details

Characteristics: This mAb reacts only with the intact-HCG and not with either free alpha- or free beta-chain of HCG. HCG is a glycoprotein and 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). HCG is secreted in large quantities by normal trophoblasts. It is present only in trace amounts in non-pregnant urine and sera but rises sharply during pregnancy. HCG mAb detects cells and tumors of trophoblastic origin such as choriocarcinoma. Large cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the lung demonstrate anti-hCG positivity in 90 % and 60 % of cases respectively. 20 % of lung squamous cell carcinomas are positive. HCG expression by non-trophoblastic tumors may indicate aggressive behavior.

Purification: Protein G affinity chromatography

Immunogen: Purified hCG protein was used as the immunogen for the hCG Holo antibody.

Isotype: IgG1 kappa

Application Details

Application Notes: Optimal dilution of the hCG Holo antibody should be determined by the researcher.

1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10  mM Citrate buffer,  pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min.
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.\. Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 0.5-1 μg/mL for 30 min at RT (1),Prediluted format: incubate for 30 min at RT (2)

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Buffer: 1 mg/mL in 1X PBS, BSA free, sodium azide free

Preservative: Azide free

Storage: 4 °C,-20 °C

Storage Comment: Store the hCG Holo antibody at 2-8°C (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20°C or colder (without azide).
