Ovalbumin polyclonal FITC, anti-chicken

Quantity: 200 µl

Background:
A single precipitin line is obtained in immunoelectrophoresis against 1% chicken egg albumin in PBS. In double radial immunodiffusion of the antiserum against twofold dilutions of 1% chicken egg albumin in PBS and in the reverse arrangement of the chicken egg albumin solution against twofold dilutions of the antiserum, a singe precipitin line is obtained. The antiserum does not react with chicken serum. In immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical staining of ovalbumin at the cellular and subcellular level of appropriately treated cell and tissue substrates. This immunoconjugate is not pre-diluted. The optimum working dilution of each conjugate should be established by titration before being used. Excess labelled antibody must be avoided because it may cause high unspecific background staining and interfere with the specific signal. Working dilutions are usually between 1:20 and 1:80, depending on the method used.

Isotype: Rabbit Polyclonal

Source: Highly purified egg albumin (MW 45,000) isolated from chicken egg whites. Freund's complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.

Form: FITC-coupled purified hyperimmune goat IgG, in phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2).

Reactivity: chicken

Cross Reactivity:
Inter-species cross-reactivity is a normal feature of antibodies to plasma proteins, since homologous proteins of different species frequently share antigenic determinants. Cross-reactivity of this antiserum has not been tested in detail.

Applications: ELISA, Immunocytochemistry, Immunohistochemistry (frozen), (In)direct immunofluorescence

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