Human thyroid stimulating hormone hTSH

Sample material Serum or plasma (citrate, oxalate or heparin). EDTA as anticoagulant for plasma separation leads to increased hTSH values. Serum and plasma samples can be stored in the refrigerator at +2°C to +8°C for one week.

Comparative evaluation of anti-human thyroid stimulating hormone (hTSH) antibody, bound to the fifth-generation ammonia core (N5) or the fifth-generation ethylenediamine core (E5) dendrimer (1), did not show any differences in either the effective protein concentrations or the shape of the dose-dependent response curves (calibration curves) as determined from the recovery of standard controls. All the other experiments described here were thus carried out with the fifth-generation (i.e. dia. = 70 A) particles of ethylenediamine core (E5) de-ndrimers. The later particles were selected for their ability to be produced reproducibly on a large scale.
