General Notes
Mouse anti Human chorionic gonadotrophin antibody, clone INN-hCG-22 recognizes the beta subunit of human choriogonadotrophin (hCG), also known as chorionic gonadotrophin. hCGß is a 165 amino acid ~18 kDa hormone involved in the stimulation of steroid production essential to the maintenance of pregnancy.Mouse anti Human chorionic gonadotrophin antibody, clone INN-hCG-22 shows a strong reaction in RIA with intact hCG and hCGß and some reactivity with human luteinizing hormone (12%) and b-hLH (34%). No reaction with human follicle-stimulating hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone , a-hCG or a-hLH.Affinity constant = 1.6 x 109m (Ka) .
