Anti-Procalcitonin (PCT-calcitonin) Antibody

The monoclonal antibody from Antibodies.com targets procalcitonin, a 116-amino acid precursor of calcitonin encoded by the CALCA gene. Procalcitonin is a widely studied clinical biomarker that rises rapidly during bacterial sepsis and severe systemic inflammation while remaining low in viral infections and non-infectious conditions, supporting its use as a diagnostic indicator in critical care and infectious disease research.

This mouse-derived IgG1 clone is purified by Protein A chromatography and supplied unconjugated at 1 mg in a single vial, with storage at 4 degrees C in buffered solution to preserve binding activity. Researchers apply this reagent in immunohistochemistry, western blot, and ELISA workflows to investigate PCT expression in tissue sections, cell lysates, and culture supernatants. The unconjugated format enables downstream labeling with HRP, biotin, or fluorophores for custom detection in research use only applications.
