Milk specific 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 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 this antiserum is of secretory origin. However an analogous or homologous protein may be present also n other kind of secretions (e.g. saliva). Not all precipitable proteins have been identified. Known proteins include free secretory component and lactoferrin. In immunoelectrophoresis to identify the milk protein pattern, to compare individual samples and to make comparisons with serum protein patterns or those of other secretions; to identify individual components, their possible origin and significant changes in concentration. To test the purity of an isolated milk protein..

Isotype: Rabbit Polyclonal

Source: Pooled 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 speciesspecific.

Applications: Immunoprecipitation

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