CAT#: AP31445SU-N

Monkey IgA (Fc specific) rabbit polyclonal antibody, Serum

Specifications

Product Data

• Applications: ID, IP
• Recommended Dilution: In precipitating techniques as immunoelectrophoresis and radial immunodiffusion to identify the presence of IgA in monkey serum or other body fluids or to determine its concentration. To prepare an immunoadsorbent for the purification of monkey IgA from serum or plasma. Antisera to IgA do not discriminate between serum IgA (monomeric and dimeric) and higher molecular forms such as secretory IgA. This antiserum is not intended for use in non-precipitating antibody-binding or other highly sensitive assays. For such use labelled and unlabelled cytochemical and immunoassay grade reagents meeting the necessary additional specificity and performance requirements are available.
  Recommended Working Dilutions:
  Immunoelectrophoresis: 2 μl serum or equivalent against 120 μl antiserum.
  Double Radial Immunodiffusion (Ouchterlony): a rosette arrangement with 10 μl antiserum in 3 mm diameter center well and 2 μl serum samples (neat and serially diluted in 2 mm diameter peripheral wells.
• Reactivities: Monkey
• Host: Rabbit
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Immunogen: Highly purified normal 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 restricted to the Fc part of the IgA molecule. In immunoelectrophoresis and radial immunodiffusion, using various antiserum concentrations against normal monkey serum a single precipitin line is obtained which shows a reaction of identity with the precipitin line obtained with purified IgA. No precipitation reaction is obtained with purified IgG, IgM, and IgG/Fab fragments.
  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 antiserum may also react with other species as has been observed for chimpanzee and man.
• Formulation: No preservative added - No foreign proteins added.
  State: Serum
  State: Delipidated, heat inactivated, lyophilized, stable whole antiserum
• Reconstitution Method: Restore with 1 ml sterile distilled water.
• Storage: Store lyophilized at 2-8°C for 6 months or at -20°C long term.
  After reconstitution store the antibody undiluted at 2-8°C for one month or (in aliquots) at -20°C long term.
  Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
• Note: Adsorption: Immunoaffinity adsorbed using insolubilized antigens as required, to eliminate antibodies crossreacting with other components of the immunoglobulin system or reacting with other serum proteins. The use of insolubilized adsorption antigens prevents the presence of excess adsorbent protein or immune complexes in the antiserum.
