		Technical Data
C7907-10	C-Reactive Protein (CRP, MGC88244, PTX 1, PTX1)

Description:
C-Reactive protein (CRP) is an acute phase reactant. CRP is released by the body in response to acute injury, infection, or other inflammatory stimuli. Recent development of a high sensitivity assay for CRP (hs-CRP) has enabled investigation of this marker of systemic inflammation.

Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA, Immunohistochemistry and Immunoaffinity purification. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilutions:
ELISA: >10e-6 (Titer)
Immunohistochemistry: Paraffin sections
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Recommended Pair:
Capture: Cat. #C7907-10
Detection: Cat. #C7907-11

Hybridoma:
Sp2/0 myeloma cells with spleen cells from Balb/c mice.

Source:
Ascites
