| Product description | Our ELISA Kit assays are dynamic research tools and sometimes they may be updated and improved. If the format of this assay is important to you then please request the current manual or contact our technical support team with a presales inquiry before placing an order. We will confirm the current details of the assay. We cannot guarantee the sample manual posted online is the most current manual.Small volumes of hGH elisa kit vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply. |
| Species Reactivity | Human |
| Gene Symbol | hGH elisa kit |
| Molecular Weight(MW) | 23,110 Da |
| Sequence Similarities | Growth hormone |
| Tissue Specificity | The only human protein with significant sequence similarities to growth hormone is prolactin. Testing a 200 ng/mL prolactin solution in this assay, no cross reactivity was detected. Further, Pegvisomant (trade name Somavert) a growth hormone analogue and pharmaceutical used in acromegaly therapy has been tested for cross reactivity in different concentrations. Here no significant influence of Somavert was detected (Table 1). But in Growth Horm IGF Res 18 (2008) 526-532 the authors added 100 mg/L pegvisomant to hGH enriched samples containing 2.6 and 10.1 mug/L hGH and measurement results were 154% and 108% of the expected values respectively [9]. |
