ProductThyroglobulin (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. The clinical interpretation of any staining or its absence should be complemented by morphological studies and proper controls and should be evaluated within the context of the patient's clinical history and other diagnostic tests by a qualified pathologist.
