Related Product Information for anti-Calcitonin antibody
Calcitonin is 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.

Product Notes
The Calcitonin (Catalog #AAA6466644) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Calcitonin, Human (BSA & Azide Free) reacts with Human, Canine, Equine, Monkey, Mouse, Porcine, Rat, Sheep and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Calcitonin can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Paraffin. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Calcitonin for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Calcitonin, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
