C0115-08W	Calcitonin (CALC1, CALCA, CGRP, CGRP1, CGRP-I, CT, KC)

Description:
Calcitonin is found in C cells of normal and hyperplastic thyroid. This antibody can be used to detect the presence of calcitonin in these tissues.

Applications:
Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Immunohistochemistry: 1:100 for 30 mins. at 25 °C.
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Positive Control:
Thyroid (cytoplasmic staining pattern)
