Polyclonal antibody against hCG

Immunogen: Unknown or proprietery to MONOSAN and/or its suppliers

Concentration: n/a

Storage buffer: Tris Buffer, pH 7.3-7.7, containing 1% BSA and <0.1% Sodium Azide

Additional info: hCG is a protein secreted in large quantities by normal trophoblasts; the antibody detects cells and tumors of trophoblastic origin such as Choriocarcinoma. Large Cell Carcinoma and Adenocarcinoma of Lung demonstrate hCG positivity in 90% and 60% of cases respectively. 20% of Squamous Cell Lung Carcinomas are positive for hCG. hCG expression by nontrophoblastic tumors may indicate aggressive behavior since it has been observed that hCG may play a role in the host response to a given tumor.
