Anti-Human Chorionic Gonadotropin β (HCGβ) Antibody

Offered by Antibodies.com as a primary research reagent, this Mouse monoclonal antibody is raised against the β-subunit of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCGβ), a 40 kDa glycoprotein hormone secreted by placental trophoblastic cells and a member of the glycoprotein hormone family that also includes LH, FSH and TSH. The reagent is supplied as a purified monoclonal antibody in liquid format at a concentration of 1 mg/ml, with the 1 mg pack size providing a convenient quantity for routine ELISA work. It is unconjugated, IgG-2a isotype, and shows reactivity with human samples. By application, Antibodies.com lists ELISA as the validated use, where the antibody is typically suited to immunoassay detection of hCG and related trophoblastic markers, including in lateral flow and antibody-pair immunoassay configurations. The antibody is purified by Protein A chromatography and is recommended for detection of the β subunit rather than the intact holo-hCG or the common α subunit shared with LH, FSH and TSH. It is intended for research use only.
