Thyroglobulin (1D4) is a mouse anti-human monoclonal antibody produced as a tissue culture supernatant, and supplied in Tris buffered saline with carrier protein, containing 0.35% ProClin 950 as a preservative. Total volume = 7 mL. This reagent is for in vitro diagnostic use. Thyroglobulin (1D4) monoclonal antibody is intended to be used for the qualitative identification by light microscopy of thyroglobulin in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue by immunohistochemical staining using an automated Bond system.
