Anti-hCG alpha Antibody [CH7]

This Mouse monoclonal antibody, clone CH7 from Antibodies.com, targets the alpha subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG alpha) and is supplied as a lyophilised powder at 100 µg per vial. The antibody is of the IgG1 isotype and binds the conserved alpha subunit shared by the glycoprotein hormone family, which includes hCG, LH, FSH, and TSH. This binding profile supports immunoassay workflows, free alpha subunit detection, and characterization of glycoprotein hormone expression.

The unconjugated format allows direct labeling or pairing with secondary detection reagents selected by the researcher. Antibodies that recognize hCG alpha are widely used in studies of placental and trophoblastic tissue, pregnancy-related biomarker research, and investigations of hCG-secreting tumors. The lyophilised product should be reconstituted according to standard laboratory protocols and stored refrigerated for routine use; for long-term storage, aliquoting and freezing is recommended to preserve activity through multiple freeze-thaw cycles.

Researchers commonly apply this reagent in ELISA platforms to detect hCG or its free alpha subunit in culture supernatants and conditioned media. As a research-use-only reagent, the antibody is intended for laboratory investigation of hCG biology and related reproductive endocrinology studies.
