Calcitonin is a 32aa 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.

Applications
Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry. Other aplications not tested.
Recommended Dilutions
Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/paraffin): 1:200 for 30 minutes at RT. No special pretreatment is required for the immunohistochemical staining of formalin/paraffin tissues. Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Recommended Positive Control
Thyroid or medullary carcinoma
