Price: 270 € / 1 ml

Polyclonal Antibodies

Origin:	Rabbit

Isotype:	Serum

Clone:	polyclonal

Format:	liquid conc.

Quantity:	1 ml

Working concentration:	1:50-1:100

Presentation:	Antibody solution in stabilizing phosphate buffer pH 7.3. Contains 0.09 % sodium azide**. The volume is sufficient for at least 100 immunohistochemical tests (100 µl working solution/test). Use appropriate antibody diluent e.g. BIOLOGO Art .No. PU002.

Immunogen:	Synacthen, ACTH (1-24)

Specificity:	ACTH 1-24, no reactivity with CLIP (ACTH 17-39)

Species Specificity:	Human, pig, rat

General Information:	The adrenocorticotropic hormone ACTH is produced by cells of the pituitary gland as a pro-opiomelanocortin precursor. It is secreted into the blood as biological active ACTH (1-39). It is stimulating the synthesis and secretion of steroid hormones like cortisol and corticosterone from the adrenal cortex of mammalians and interrenal glands of other vertebrates. It is essential for the maintenance of glucose and salt in the blood.

Special properties:	The antibody against ACTH is suitable for the detection of the hormone in tissue slices of the pituitary and in ectopic ACTH producing cells as it may occur in SCLC (small cell lung carcinoma).

Positive control:	Pituitary, pituitary adenoma

Pre-treatment:	No protease treatment required

Applications:	IHC(P)

Incubation time:	60 min at RT

Secondary reagents:	We recommend the use of BIOLOGO's Universal Staining System DAB (Art. No. DA005) or AEC (Art.-No. AE005), if higher sensitivity is required VECTASTAIN Elite ABC (Art. No. PK-6101) or ABC AP (Art. No. AK-5001) systems are applicable.

Storage:	2-8°C
