General description

Corticosterone is a steroid hormone produced mainly in the cortex of adrenal glands. It also known as the stress hormone and has a crucial role in enhancing and suppressing synaptic plasticity and memory processes.Rabbit anti-corticosterone antibody reacts specifically with corticosterone.

Immunogen

Corticosterone-21-Thyroglobulin

Application

Anti-corticosterone antibody can be used to measure total CORT level in serum using radioimmunoassay.

Physical form

The product is provided as a pre-diluted antiserum that has been lyophilized. Each vial contains no more than 20 mg Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP).

Reconstitution

Reconstitute with 5 mL buffer: 0.05 M Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 0.1 M sodium chloride, 0.1% bovine serum albumin, and 0.1% sodium azide. Store this stock at −20 °C. Working dilution (1:10) to be discarded if unused within 12 hours.
