Anti-Thyroglobulin (Tg), clone 8.F.269B (BSA & Azide free)

Human Thyroglobulin (Tg) is a 660kD, dimeric protein produced by and used entirely within the thyroid gland. Human Thyroglobulin Tg was referred to as 'colloid'. Human Thyroglobulin (Tg) is used by the thyroid gland to produce the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine. Patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis or Graves' disease, frequently develop antibodies against human Thyroglobulin (Tg). Human Thyroglobulin Tg-specific antibodies help in the diagnosis of these diseases, but they also may be present in apparently healthy euthyroid individuals. Human Thyroglobulin (Tg) levels in the blood can be used as a tumor marker for certain kinds of thyroid cancer. Thyroglobulin (Tg) levels in the blood can also be elevated in cases of Graves disease. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA as a label for conjugate. Other applications have not been tested. Recommended Dilutions: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Recommended Pair: Suitable for use as the detection or conjugate (label) antibody., Matched to T5300-02 as the capture or solid phase antibody.
