Schwein Antiserum anti-Ziege IgA (Secretory)-unkonj., MinX keine

The reactivity of the antiserum is restricted to the Fc part of the IgA molecule and to surface and hidden determinants of the secretory component as tested in immunoelectrophoresis and radial immunodiffusion. In immunoelectrophoresis using various antiserum concentrations against normal goat milk two precipitin lines may be obtained, one representing IgA and the other the free secretory component. Against normal goat serum only IgA is precipitated. No precipitation reaction is obtained with purified IgG, IgM, and IgG/Fab fragments. In precipitating techniques as immunoelectrophoresis and radial immunodiffusion to identify the presence of IgA in goat serum, milk or other body fluids or to determine its concentration. To prepare an immunoadsorbent for the purification of goat IgA from serum or exocrine secretions. Antisera to IgA do not discriminate between serum IgA (monomeric and dimeric) and higher molecular forms as secretory IgA. This antiserum is not intended for use in non-precipitating antibody-binding or other highly sensitive assays. This does not exclude such use if proper controls are include.

Delipidated, heat inactivated, lyophilized, stable whole antiserum. No preservative added. Total protein and IgG concentrations in the antiserum are comparable to those of pooled normal swine serum. No foreign proteins added. Reconstitute the lyophilized antiserum by adding 1 ml sterile distilled water.
