Milk Proteins polyclonal, anti-rabbit

Quantity: 200 µl

Background:
In immunoelectrophoresis against rabbit milk precipitation of not less than 8 different proteins may be obtained. However the number of visible precipitin lines varies widely among individual specimens of rabbit milk. The total concentration of protein, their proportion of the different protein components change markedly during the course of lactation. A protein detected in a rabbit secretion by this antiserum 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: Goat Polyclonal

Source: Pooled whole rhesus rabbit 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.

Specificity:
Precipitating polyclonal Goat anti-Serum to Rabbit milk proteins.

Reactivity: rabbit

Cross Reactivity:
Inter-species cross reactivity is a normal feature of antibodies to animal proteins since homo- logous 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.
