General Notes
Mouse anti Human placental lactogen antibody, clone INN-hPL-37 recognizes human placental lactogen, also known as Chorionic somatomammotropin hormone or choriomammotropin. Radioimmunological direct binding assays were performed with 125I-labelled hPL, hGH, hPRL and increasing amounts of INN-hPL-37. In addition, competitive RIA with unlabelled hGH, hPRL and hPL were used for characterization. In competitive RIA cross reactivity with hGH and hPRL was below 1%. Direct binding demonstrated 39% reactivity with hGH but no cross reactivity with hPRL.
