Anti-Testosterone [5F2]

Absolute Antibody

Anti-Testosterone [5F2]

9

The antibody is specific for the testosterone molecule. Testosterone is the primary sex hormone and anabolic steroid in males.

The testosterone binding affinity of the 5F2 Fab fragment is 900 nM as determined by a competitive ELISA. Binding specificity of the 5F2 Fab was also studied by using 5alpha- dihydrotestosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate and androstenedione. Furthermore the Fab version of this antibody was co-crystallized with testosterone and the structure was identified using x-ray crystallography (Niemi et al, 2011; pmid:21360611).
