This Monoclonal antibody Clone h6 recognizes β-HCG, a well defined oncofetal protein of 36.7 kDa m.w. associated with pregnancy and some cancers. Raised serum levels for HCG are found in teratogenic carcinomas and trophoblastic tumors and occasionally in gastrointestinal, urogenital, bronchial or mammary carcinomas, and in lymphomas.
Suitable for Immunohistochemistry (IHC) on: Frozen sections: 0.1 μg/mL (1/4000)Paraffin sections: 0.1 μg/mL (1/4000), microwave pretreatment for antigen retrieval isrecommended. It works also in ELISA. Suggested positive control: Human placenta. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Human gonadothropin is a glycoprotein of 36.7 kDa consisting of two subunits. The α-chain (MW 14.5 kD) is common to three other glycoprotein hormones (TSH, FSH, LH) whereas the β-chain (22.2kD) is more different. The β-chain of HCG and LH (lutrophin) have sequence homology in the first 112 amino acids and differ at the C-terminal end consisting of 24 amino acids.Synonyms: CGB, CGB3, Choriogonadotropin subunit beta, beta hCG, hCG-beta
