hCG (CGA) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody [Clone ID: HCGa/53]

Specifications

Product Data
Clone Name	HCGa/53
Applications	IHC, WB
Recommend Dilution	ELISA: Use BSA free Antibody for coating. Western Blotting: 0.5-1 µg/ml. Immunohistolochemistry on Formalin-Fixed Paraffin Sections: 0.5-1 µg/ml for 30 minutes at RT. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes. Positive Control: Placenta.
Reactivity	Human
Host	Mouse
Clonality	Monoclonal
Immunogen	Recombinant hCG alpha protein.
Specificity	This MAb reacts with a protein of ~13kDa, identified as alpha sub-unit of HCG. HCG is a glycoprotein, which 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 is composed of two non-identical, non-covalently linked polypeptide chains designated as the α and β subunits. The α subunit is identical to that of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH). Cellular Localization: Cytoplasmic, secreted.
Formulation	10mM PBS State: Purified State: Liquid purified IgG fraction from Bioreactor Concentrate Stabilizer: 0.05% BSA Preservative: 0.05% Sodium Azide
Concentration	lot specific
Purification	Proten A/G Chromatography
Conjugation	Unconjugated
Storage Condition	Store undiluted at 2-8°C.
Predicted Protein Size	~13 kDa
Gene Name	glycoprotein hormones, alpha polypeptide
Database Link	Entrez Gene 1081 Human UniProt ID P01215
