| Chimeric Use Statement: | This chimeric human antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse IgG1 format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques. |
| Application Notes: | The antibody binds specifically to hCG, a hormone produced by a part of the placenta, the syncytiotrophoblast, following implantation. The hormone has an important role during pregnancy, as it interacts with the LHCG receptor in the ovaries to prevent the degeneration of the corpus luteum, and thereby allows the secretion of progesterone during the first trimester. hCG is a heterodimeric glycoprotein, composed of an α and a β domain, of which the α is identical to that of LH and FSH, while the β is unique to hCG. The monoclonal antibody AB4 is specific for the β-subunit, and can be used in the detection of the hormone in pregnancy tests or in the diagnosis of uterine cancer. |
