MILLIPLEX^® Canine Pituitary Expanded Panel

MILLIPLEX^® Qualified assays undergo rigorous assay development, verification, and Quality Control testing to achieve optimal performance. Simultaneously analyze up to 6 analytes in canine serum, plasma, tissue extracts, or cell culture supernatants.

Analytes included: ACTH, FSH, GH, LH, Prolactin, TSH

Assay Characteristics: Refer to assay protocol for details on cross-reactivity, sensitivity, precision, and accuracy.

Cross Reactivty
There was no or negligible cross-reactivity between the antibodies for an analyte and any of the other analytes in this panel except for canine LH having ~5% cross-reactivity with the TSH antibody pair.

Features:

• Targets six key pituitary hormones involved in canine endocrine regulation
• Includes ACTH, FSH, GH, LH, Prolactin, and TSH for comprehensive profiling
• Multiplex format enables simultaneous detection of multiple analytes
• Compatible with canine serum, plasma, tissue extracts, and supernatants
• Designed for research into pituitary function, growth, reproduction, and metabolism

Benefits:

• Provides sensitive and specific measurement of pituitary hormone levels
• Supports investigation of endocrine disorders and pituitary-related diseases
• Facilitates evaluation of therapeutic interventions in canine models
• Enables efficient use of limited samples with high-throughput capability
• Delivers reproducible results with built-in controls and optimized reagents

Called the “master gland” because it controls many other endocrine glands, the pituitary gland secretes key hormones that play important roles in the regulation of metabolism, growth, and reproduction. The Canine Pituitary Expanded Panel thus enables you to focus on the therapeutic potential of reproduction, growth, metabolic homeostasis, and pituitary related diseases such as acromegaly, growth hormone deficiency, diabetes insipidus and pituitary tumors.

MILLIPLEX^® Canine Pituitary Expanded Panel is a 6-plex kit to be used for the quantification of any or all of the following analytes: Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH), Growth Hormone (GH), Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Prolactin, and Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH). This kit may be used for the analysis of pituitary hormones in canine serum or plasma, canine tissue extract, or cell/tissue supernatant samples. This kit uses a 96-well format, contains a lyophilized standard cocktail, two internal assay quality controls and can measure up to 38 samples in duplicate.

The Luminex^® xMAP^® platform uses a magnetic bead immunoassay format for ideal speed and sensitivity to quantitate multiple analytes simultaneously, dramatically improving productivity while conserving valuable sample volume.

Panel Type: Endocrine

Hormonal regulation in dogs involves a complex interplay between the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. Biomarkers such as ACTH, FSH, GH, LH, Prolactin, and TSH provide critical insights into this axis. ACTH reflects adrenal stimulation and stress response, while FSH and LH are key regulators of reproductive function. GH influences growth and metabolism, Prolactin supports lactation and immune modulation, and TSH controls thyroid hormone production. Together, these analytes offer a comprehensive view of endocrine health and are essential for studying hormonal imbalances and pituitary-related disorders in canine models.

Replaces: This panel replaces CPTMAG-96K.

Recommended storage for kit components is 2 - 8°C.
