BioVendor, LLC Placental Lactogen Human ELISA (96 wells)
Supplier: BioVendor, LLC RIS0013R
Placental Lactogen Human (hPL) ELISA, 96 wells. Research use only. Immunoassay kit to quantify hPL in serum. Calibration range: 1.2520 mg/ml. Detection limit: 0.3 mg/ml. Synonyms: Chorionic somatomammotropin hormone 2, Choriomammotropin, PL. Summary: hPL is produced only during pregnancy and is involved in stimulating lactation, fetal growth and metabolism. Maternal serum-level may reflect on "index of placental function". Depressed hPL levels are associated with intrauterine death, fetal distress in labor and birth asphyxia. The association is particularly strong if depressed levels are seen repeatedly, implying a chronic state of placental and therefore fetal compromise. Elevated hPL levels are usually indicative of optimal pregnancy outcome in singleton pregnancies. However, high levels may indicate substantial fetal pathology in specific diseases, namely diabetes mellitus and fetal macrosomia, rhesus isoimmunization and hydrops fetalis.
