| Description | The hCG ELISA kit is used for the quantitative measurement of hCG in human serum or plasma. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is a 40 kD glycoprotein hormone secreted by the placenta. The serum hCG rises in early pregnancy to concentrations of 50,000-150,000 mIU/ml between the 8th and 12th weeks of gestation and decline to 20,000 mIU/ml by the 18th week where they remain for the duration of the pregnancy. The increased level of hCG in non-pregnant women or men suggest neoplsia. Thus hCG measurement is useful for the recognition and monitoring of chorionic tumors and as a tumor marker for other malignancies that produce hCG ectopically. These include testicular, pancreatic and bronchogenic pulmonary cancers. |
