Immunogen
|
Purified normal IgG isolated from pooled horse serum. Freund's complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.

Isotype

IgG

Specificity
|
The reactivity of the antiserum is directed to the Fc and Fab subunits of both subclasses IgG1 and IgG2. Reactivity with other subclasses of horse IgG has not been tested. The antiserum reacts with both Fc and Fab portions of polyclonal IgG. It includes a certain degree of reactivity with other immunoglobulins via the common Fab portion. In immunoelectrophoresis against horse serum usually a single characteristic precipitin line is observed, representing primarily IgG2. If the level of IgG1, also known as IgG(T), in the serum sample approaches the level of IgG2, it may become visible as a second precipitin line.
|
Characteristics
|
Total protein and IgG concentration in the antiserum are comparable to those of pooled sheep serum. Antibody titre: Precipitin titre not less than 1:32 when tested against normal horse serum in agar block titration.
|
Purification
|
Delipidated, heat inactivated lyophilized stable whole serum No adsorption required.
