Invitrogen™ Calcitonin Monoclonal Antibody (SP17)

Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody

Supplier:  Invitrogen™ MA516325

Catalog No. PIMA516325

Description

A suggested positive control is thyroid medullary carcinoma.

Calcitonin is a 32 amino acid peptide which can be demonstrated in C cells of the normal and hyperplastic thyroid. Staining for calcitonin may be used for the identification of a spectrum of C cell proliferative abnormalities ranging from C cell hyperplasia to invasive tumors. Staining for calcitonin in medullary carcinoma of the thyroid produces a fine granular pattern in the cytoplasm. Amyloid deposits within the tumor may also exhibit varying degrees of calcitonin activity.
