The mouse monoclonal antibody B31.15 reacts with human beta Endorphin, an endogenous opiate derived from ACTH gene. ACTH (Corticotropin; human 39 aa) is synthesized by the anterior pituitary gland and stimulates the adrenal cortex; 6 hormones are derived from one ACTH gene: ACTH, lipotropin, alpha-MSH, beta-MSH, endorphin, and one other.

Immunohistochemistry (paraffin sections) : Recommended dilution: 10 μg/ml; standard ABC technique (DAB+), heat retrieval (microwave oven), incubation: overnight at 4°C; positive tissue: human pituitary gland.
