Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)-BSA Antigen

A steroid antigen conjugate from Antibodies.com, this preparation couples Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) to bovine serum albumin (BSA) to generate an immunogenic reagent suitable for raising anti-DHEA antibodies and for use as a coating or reference standard in immunoassays. DHEA is an endogenous adrenal androgen and a key intermediate in steroidogenesis, so haptenated DHEA-BSA conjugates are routinely used in research workflows targeting this hormone.

The reagent is supplied as a 1 mg liquid BSA-antigen conjugate, prepared for direct dilution into assay buffer and storage under standard cold-chain conditions to preserve epitope integrity. Researchers typically employ DHEA-BSA antigens as immunogens in polyclonal and monoclonal antibody development, as plate-coating antigens in competitive ELISA, and as calibrator material in chromatographic and immunochromatographic steroid assays.

Each vial delivers a defined antigen mass, allowing reproducible batch-to-batch coating densities on microplate wells for tissue-extract and conditioned-medium hormone quantification.
