Description: Recombinant monoclonal antibody to Oestrone-3-glucuronide. Manufactured using AbAb’s Recombinant Platform with variable regions (i.e. specificity) from the hybridoma 4115.
Species and Isotype: Mouse IgG1, kappa
Clone Number: 4115
UniProt Accession Number of Target Protein:
Alternative Name(s) of Target: E3G
Published Application(s): ELISA
Published Species Reactivity: Human
Immunogen: Human E3G.
Specificity: The antibody binds to E3G with an affinity of 10 nM.
Application Notes: The antibody is specific for Oestrone-3-glucuronide (E3G), a urinary metabolite of 17β-estradiol, a hormone secreted by the developing ovarian follicles. The monoclonal antibodies can be used clinically to detect levels of E3G in urine samples of women, providing a non-invasive test for determining the fertile period, indicating the time of ovulation. The antibody also has a lower affinity (1 nM) for estriol 3-(β-D-glucuronide), which differs to E3G by a single hydroxyl group.
