CAT#: AP31437AF-N

Monkey IgA (Fc specific) goat polyclonal antibody, Azide Free

Specifications

Product Data

• Applications: ELISA, ID, IF, IP, WB
• Recommended Dilution: Can be used as unlabelled primary or secondary reagent for indirect detection techniques, to prepare conjugates with markers of the user’s own choice, to prepare an insoluble immunoaffinity adsorbent or a solid phase antibody reagent by coupling to an artificial carrier and as catching or detection antibody in non-isotopic methodology and solid phase immunochemistry. Antisera to IgA do not discriminate between serum IgA (monomeric and dimeric) and higher molecular forms such as secretory IgA. When applied in any cytochemical or histochemical procedure or solids phase coupling technique, the optimum concentration of the IgG preparation should always be established by titration.
  Recommended working dilutions:
  In histochemistry are usually between 1/50 and 1/250.
  In ELISA and comparable non-precipitating antibody-binding assays between 1/500 and 1/2500.
• Reactivities: Monkey
• Host: Goat
• Isotype: IgG
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Immunogen: Purified IgA isolated from Rhesus monkey serum. Freund’s complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.
• Specificity: The reactivity of the antiserum is directed to the Fc subunit of the IgA molecule which expresses strict isotypic (class) specificity. It does not react with IgG, IgM and IgG/Fab or any non-Ig protein in monkey serum, as tested by immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion.
  Cross-reactivity: Inter-species cross-reactivity is a normal feature of antibodies to immunoglobulins, since Ig of different species frequently share antigenic determinants. Precipitation reactions have been observed with immunoglobulins in serum of other old-world monkeys, including Cercopithecus, Cynomolgus and Baboon. The product may also react with other species as has been observed for chimpanzee and man.
• Formulation: PBS, pH 7.2
  No preservative added, as it may interfere with the antibody activity. No foreign proteins added.
  State: Azide Free
  State: Lyophilised hyperimmune Ig fraction
• Reconstitution Method: Restore with 1 ml sterile distilled water
• Concentration: 10 mg/ml
• Purification: DEAE-column Chromatography
• Storage: Prior to reconstitution store at 2-8°C.
  Following reconstitution store undiluted at 2-8°C for one week
  or (in aliquots) at -20°C for longer.
  Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
• Note: Adsorption: Immunoaffinity adsorbed using insolubilized antigens as required to eliminate antibodies cross-reacting with other components of the immunoglobulin system or reacting with other serum proteins. Special attention is given to the removal of antibodies to common Ig/Fab. The use of insolubilized adsorption antigens prevents the presence of excess adsorbent protein or immune complexes in the antiserum.
  Antibody titre: Precipitin titre not less than 1/32 when tested against pooled normal Rhesus monkey serum in agar-block immunodiffusion titration.
