Bovine IgA (secretory) rabbit polyclonal antibody, Serum
Applications | This antibody can be used in precipitating techniques as Immunoelectrophoresis and Radial Immunodiffusion to identify the presence of IgA in Bovine serum, milk or other body fluids or to determine its concentration. Can also be used to prepare an immunoadsorbent for the purification of Bovine IgA from serum or exocrine secretions. Antisera to IgA do not discriminate between serum IgA (monomeric and dimeric) and higher molecular forms as secretory IgA. This antiserum is not intended for use in non-precipitating antibody-binding or other highly sensitive assays. This does not exclude such use if proper controls are include. Recommneded Dilutions: Immunoelectrophoresis: Use 2 µl or equivalent against 120 µl antiserum. Double Radial Immunodiffusion (Ouchterlony): Use a rosette arrangement with 10 µl antiserum in a 3 mm diameter centre well and 2 µl serum samples (neat and diluted) in 2 mm diameter peripheral wells. Antibody titre: Precipitin titre not less than 1/32 when tested against pooled normal Bovine serum in agar block titration. |
