Anti-Procalcitonin (PCT-N terminal) Antibody

This Mouse monoclonal primary antibody from Antibodies.com recognizes the N-terminal region of procalcitonin, a 116-amino-acid prohormone of calcitonin that is widely studied as a clinical biomarker for bacterial sepsis and systemic inflammatory response. The reagent is raised in mouse hosts and purified by Protein A chromatography, yielding an unconjugated IgG1 preparation supplied at 1 mg per vial for laboratory immunoassay workflows. Researchers apply it to detect procalcitonin in tissue sections and cell lysates, to study prohormone processing into calcitonin and katacalcin fragments, and to support assay development that distinguishes bacterial from non-bacterial inflammation. Compatible applications include western blot, immunohistochemistry, ELISA, and flow cytometry, where the monoclonal specificity helps reduce cross-reactivity with related peptide fragments from the same precursor. Short-term storage at refrigerated temperatures preserves activity; aliquot upon receipt to limit freeze-thaw cycles and protect from light during handling. Research use only.
