- Extra Details:
- 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 Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt.
