Immunogen
|
Purified normal IgG isolated from pooled cat serum. Freund's complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.
|
Specificity
|
The reactivity of the antiserum is directed to the Fc and Fab subunits of the IgG molecule. It includes a certain degree of reactivity with other immunoglobulins via the common Fab portion.
|
Cross-Reactivity
|
Human, Ferret, Rat (Rattus), Dog (Canine)
|
No Cross-Reactivity
|
Duck, Pigeon, Chicken, Turkey, Goat
|
Characteristics
|
Physicochemical characteristics: IgG protein concentration 10 mg/mL. Enzyme/IgG protein molar ratio (E/P) is approximately 1.7. Enzyme marker Horseradish peroxidase enriched for isoenzyme C (RZ = 3.2).
Physical form: Peroxidase-coupled purified hyperimmune rabbit IgG lyophilized from a solution in phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2).
Conjugation procedure: Conjugation is carried out using a proprietary modification of the periodate method, followed by several purification steps. After each step activity and specificity are tested in a variety of techniques. No foreign protein has been added. The conjugate is lyophilized to assure stability and long shelf life.
|
Purification
|
Hyperimmune antisera with strong precipitating activity are selected for fractionation by salt-precipitation and purification of the IgG fraction by DEAE-chromatography. Adsorption: No adsorption required.
