Specificity
The antibody recognizes the whole hCG beta and the C-terminal end part of hCG beta, as well as the hCG dimer molecule. It does not react with hCG alpha, FSH, LH, TSH and albumins (evaluated by simple-binding ELISA using 1.00 µg/well purified antigens (WHO standards) and 1.00 µg/ml primary antibody concentrations). This antibody labels the cytoplasm of hCG beta producing (trophoblastic) cells in placenta, mola hydatidosa, choriocarcinoma, embryonal carcinoma and some undifferenciated lung cancers, as well as, the JAR choriocarcinoma cell line. It does not react with cells of normal endometrial, testicular tissues and lung (tested by immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections using the Streptavidin-biotinylated peroxidase method). -

Applications
The Abpromise guarantee
Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab9582 in the following tested applications.
The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
Application | Abreviews | Notes |
---|---|---|
IHC-P |
Use at an assay dependent concentration.
It gives optimal immunostaining with the majority of well-known detection systems (e.g. LSAB, ABC/SABC, PAP, APAAP, double staining, etc.). Antigen retrieval, such as heating of slides in 10 mM citrate buffer, pH 6.00 or proteolytic pre-treatment of tissues may increase the staining intensity. The recommended time of incubation is 60 minutes at room temperature. |

ab9582 staining hCG beta in human fetal chorionic villus by Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections). Samples were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and then incubated with ab9582 in PBT [3% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 0.5% Triton X-100 in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)] overnight at 4°C. After extensive washing with PBT, samples were incubated with a secondary antibody conjugated to Alexa-Fluor® 488 for 1 hour at room temperature in the dark. After nuclear staining with Hoechst slides were mounted with PBS/ glycerol.
