SHEEP ANTI hCG (INTACT)

• Gene Name:

  [hCG]

• NCBI Gene ID:

  1081

• Storage Conditions:

  Store at 4 °C or at -20 °C if preferred. Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
  Shelf Life: 18 months from date of despatch.

• Specificity:

  This item is specific for human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), a 30kD hormone produced by placental syncytiotrophoblasts. hCG acts to maintain the corpus luteum until the developing placenta is able to produce the required levels of oestrogen and progesterone.
  
  hCG shares a common alpha chain with the pituitary hormones FSH, TSH and LH, but has a unique beta chain. This antibody reacts with intact hCG.
