Immunogen |
Chickens were immunized with three synthetic peptide KLH conjugated corresponding to different regions of the Vimentin gene product, but are shared between the Human (NP_003371) and Mouse (NP_035831) sequences. Production: After repeated injections into the hens, immune eggs were collected, and the IgY fractions were purified from the yolks. These IgY fractions were then affinity-purified using a peptide column, and the concentrations of the eluates adjusted to 0.3 mg/ml. Finally, equal volumes of each of the three affinity-purified anti-peptide antibodies were mixed, and the preparation was filter-sterilized. |
