Specificity: reacts to hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotropin). The antibody recognizes both the native complex and the beta subunit of hCG.
Recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibodies are produced using in vitro expression systems. The expression systems are developed by cloning in the specific antibody DNA sequences from immunoreactive rabbits. Then, individual clones are screened to select the best candidates for production. The advantages of using recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibodies include: better specificity and sensitivity, lot-to-lot consistency, animal origin-free formulations, and broader immunoreactivity to diverse targets due to larger rabbit immune repertoire.
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a placental hormone that stimulates secretion of the pregnancy-sustaining steroid progesterone. hCG is a member of a family of glycoprotein hormones including pituitary hormones lutropin (luteinizing hormone;LH), follitropin (follicle-stimulating hormone; FSH) and thyrotropin (thyroid-stimulating hormone; TSH). Members of this family are all composed of disulfide-rich heterodimers with two dissimilar subunits namely alpha- and beta-subunits. The alpha subunit is common to all the members of the family within a given species. The beta subunits are distinct in each of the horomones and confer the receptor and biological specificity.
