Immunogen
|
Purified normal IgG and fractions containing IgA, and IgM isolated from human 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 major isotypes of the human immunoglobulin system (classes and both light chain types) including antibodies to common determinants, to class and to the surface determinants of the common Fab portion, as tested by immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion against pooled serum and purified immuno-globulins
|
Characteristics
|
Precipitating polyclonal rabbit antiserum to human immunoglobulins, IgG, IgA and IgM, heavy and light chains Total protein and IgG concentration in the antiserum are comparable to those of pooled rabbit serum. Antibody titre: Precipitin titre not less than 1:64 when tested against normal human serum in agar block titration.
|
Purification
|
Delipidated, heat inactivated, lyophilized stable whole serum Immunoaffinity adsorbed using insolubilized antigens as required to eliminate antibody activity with other serum protein. The use of insolubilized adsorption antigens prevents the presence of excess adsorbent protein or immune complexes in the antiserum.
