AMH Gen II ELISA Kit (Anti-Mullerian Hormone)
INTENDED USE
Human AMH Gen II ELISA kit is a reliable quantitative procedure for measuring anti-mullerian hormone (AMH, AMH Gen II) in human serum and lithium plasma samples. This assay has a minimum sensitivity detection limit of 0.08 ng/ml.
BACKGROUND
Anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) is a dimeric protein glycoprotein which has a molecular mass of 140 kDa. Structurally it is related to activing and inhibin and it is a member of the TGF-beta family. It is responsible for mullerian duct regression during embryonic development. In females small amounts are secreted by the granulosa cells of the ovarian follicles after birth until menopause, after this it is undetectable. In males it is secreted by sertoli cells in the testes until puberty and after this it decreases slowly to residual post puberty values.
Measuring AMH level can been a helpful marker to assess ovarian egg reserve and therefore fertility. It can be measured any time throughout the menstrual cycle since it is known to be stable throughout the cycle. Women with higher values will also have a better chance a good response to ovarian stimulation for IVF, since they have more eggs retrieved and generally the more eggs presents leads to a higher success rate with IVF. For accurate assessment, it is recommended to perform this assay alongside an antral follicle count – AFC (number of small follicles within both ovaries).

SENSITIVITY
The minimum sensitivity detection limit of anti-mullerian hormone (AMH, AMH Gen II) using current AMH Gen II ELISA kit was approximately 0.08 ng/ml. The dynamic range for this assay is 0.14 – 22.0 ng/ml.
