Product Name: HCG-alpha Antibody [SPM552]
Species Reactivity: Human
Tested Applications: IHC
Applications: Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 1-2 ug/ml for 30 minutes at RT (1)Prediluted format: incubate for 30 min at RT (2)The optimal dilution of the HCG-alpha antibody for each application should be determined by the researcher.1. No special pre-treatment is required for staining of formalin-fixed tissues. Note that HIER is NOT recommended for this antibody.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.
User Note: Optimal dilutions for each application to be determined by the researcher

Background: 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 alpha and beta subunits. The alpha subunit is identical to that of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH). This mAb reacts with the alpha subunit of HCG.
