| Antibody Type | Primary Antibodies |
| Product description | Mouse monoclonal antibody [5B8] to C-PeptideC-Peptide is part of the molecule of Proinsulin, that consists of three parts: C-Peptide and two long strands of amino acids (called the alpha and beta chains) that later become linked together to form the insulin molecule. From every molecule of proinsulin, one molecule of insulin plus one molecule of C-Peptide are produced C-peptide is released into the bloodstream in equal amounts to insulin. A test of C-peptide levels will show how much insulin the body is making. |

| Tested Applications | ELISARIA |
| ELISA: Use at an assay dependent dilution. RIA: Use at an assay dependent dilution. Competitive ELISA or RIA detection of C-peptide in human serum after immunospecific removal of proinsulin (with solid-phased Mabs to human proinsulin). Construction of a sensitive two-site sandwich EIA/ RIA immunosorbent assay for the measurement of total human proinsulin (including proinsulin convertion intermediates) in serum. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. | |

| Target | C-Peptide |
| Tissue Specificity | This antibody binds with equal efficiency to the human free C-peptide and C-peptide region in proinsulin molecules. Antigenic determinants identified by the antibody are in the three-dimensional structure generated by N- and C-terminal regions of C-peptide separated by beta-turn at position 47-50 of proinsulin.Affinity (Kd) > 1 x 108This antibody does not cross-react with human, bovine, porcine and mouse/rat insulin. |
