Milk Proteins polyclonal, anti-mouse

Quantity: 200 µl

Background:
In immunoelectrophoresis against mouse milk precipitation of not less than 7 different proteins may be obtained. However the number of visible precipitin lines varies widely among individual specimens of mouse milk. The total concentration of protein, their proportion of the different protein components change markedly during the course of lactation. There are also strain differences in the protein composition, but differences among individual animals tend to be greater. A protein detected in a mouse secretion by RAM/TM may be of secretory origin, or it may be a plasma protein presumably entering in the secretion from the surrounding capillary vessels and through interstitial tissues. Virtually every plasma protein may also be present at a detectable level in milk. Not all precipitable proteins have been identified. Known proteins include secretory IgA and other immunoglobulins, free secretory component, lactoferrin, components of the complement system and albumin In immunoelectrophoresis to identify the protein pattern in an individual milk sample, to compare individual patterns and to make comparisons with serum protein patterns or those of other secretions; to identify individual components, and significant changes in concentration. To test the purity of an isolated milk protein.

Isotype: Rabbit Polyclonal

Source: Pooled whole mouse milk. Freund's complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.

Form: Delipidated, heat inactivated, in PBS and 0.1% sodium azide.

Reactivity: mouse

Cross Reactivity:
Inter-species cross reactivity is a normal feature of antibodies to animal proteins since homologous proteins of different species frequently share antigenic determinants. This antiserum has not been adsorbed for such cross reactivity. Consequently it is not species-specific

Applications: Immunoprecipitation

Storage: Store at 4C, or in small aliquots at -20C.
